Pairing recommendation:
If you can get your hands on a rare bottle of Sullivans Cove whisky, you have found the perfect pairing. As a backup option, look for a single malt from Speyside, a triple-distilled whisky from Ireland, bourbon, or cognac. Tawny port is another obvious choice. In the realm of cheese, opt for something creamy or nutty—like Brie, triple-cremes, Pyrenees sheep’s milk cheese, and Alpine-style cheeses.
