Following my post last week on the ‘Top 5 Blends under R600’, I have worked hard to define my Top 5 Single Malt under R750. I have tasted a considerable variety of whiskies to sort the good from the bad, the cheap from the tasty.
Most of my whisky food pairings involve cheese. Whisky and cheese make for noteworthy combinations, and I have tried various kinds of cheese and whisky pairings. One of our favourites was the Laphroaig 10 yo Cask Strength single malt Scotch whisky and Stilton pairing. I enjoy our cheese pairings, usually as a late afternoon snack or after dinner as part of a cheese platter.
Last week I about the Top 5 single malt whiskies under R500 available in South Africa. This blog post came about after a friend asked for some help in choosing whisky as a gift. This week, I continue with my recommendation and wrote a Top 5 blends under R500 available in South Africa post for this week.
