PAIRING GUIDE
Pairing food with whisky always presents a number of exciting challenges, and we loved the blend of Lowland, Highland and Speyside malt whiskies in this thrilling release from Compass Box. It’s surprisingly versatile when it comes to food pairing, too - it’s as good with whisky-pairing classics like haggis, venison with blackberries, colcannon and roast side of salmon as it is with lighter prawn dishes, chocolate and cherry desserts, and strong cheeses with figs, charcuterie and candied nuts. What’s not to love?
