Fahrenheit 173 - Whisky"The king o' drinks, as I conceive it, Talisker, Isla or Glenlivit" (R.L. Stevenson) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Diageo Switzerland organize a whisky dinner as part of their bi-annual "Whisky Festival". On Thursday I attended this whisky dinner for the first time and I was really impressed! The food was excellent and so were the whiskies. The pairing of food and whisky was of course what most interested me and the dinner gave me a real eye-opener. The first two courses worked fantastically well with the whisky. The cheese and Talisker combination was pretty good but the sweetness of the crème brûlée made the Dalwhinnie seem a bit dull. All in all however, an excellent event! The meal consisted of: Smoked herring, cress and horseradish sauce - Caol Ila Distiller's Edition Roast lamb with herbs and potato purée - Clynelish Distiller's Edition Blue cheese and hard cheese - Talisker 25 y.o. Crème brûlée - Dalwhinnie 29 y.o.
