The Whiskey Thread

[IDrago]

i been to several whisky food pairing both local and overseas. i would say the pairing works as in the way of bringing out the flavour of food and whisky. those that i went to normally are over hype and too expensive to do it on regular basis.

 

i have did a few private pairing with friends at home and here are some local ideas i can offer:

 

1. strong peated whiskies goes well with roasted pork (siow bah, not char siew). it leaves a nice smokey flavour on the siow ba - new fusion - smokey siow bah.

 

2. same for roasted duck - it will turn out to be smokey duck. the fatty oil in duck goes very well with peat and leaves a just nice smokey after taste.

 

plus many others that we experiment.

 

the above food doesnt cost an arm or leg. buy from hawker and enjoy at home..

 

Hey buddy, I was browsing some whiskey related threads and got to this previous posting of yours.

 

Remember that bottle of Laphroaig? I paired it with caramelized apples and smoked walnuts a couple of weeks ago.. Is this the right way to go? (i.e. any other sweet pairings recommendation? I have only done savoury parings with wine thus far)

I am only able to grasp the Finish aspect of whiskey and have to admit a tendency to prefer crisp and light flavours instead of robust, strongly peated ones like Laphroaig.

 

Perhaps, I am not a true connoisseur like yourself but is there any pairings (both sweet & savoury) recommended to enhance the bouquet of milder single malts like Glenmorangie (i.e. I enjoy gentle vanilla and honeycomb notes)

Also, I kinda like JW Green Label although it

[BlueOldMan]

it's call distillery. BTW, it seems Macallan is not common in North East of UK. Anyone knows the reason?

Personally Jack is the only one I can drink on the rocks without wanting to throw up immediately...usually I just stick to red wines

But my hubby proves that a Chinese man can drink like an angmoh and be perfectly alright...I've seen him down Johnnie Walkers like water...but it's his fav whiskey lah.
