Whiskey and Spirits

Whiskey is a spirit produced by fermenting and then distilling various grains, which is then aged in wooden barrels. Some grains, often barley, are germinated and turned into malt. The world’s finest whiskeys are considered to be those from Scotland, the United States, and Ireland, and in recent years, Japanese whiskeys as well.

Whiskey is the quintessential spirit for sipping and savoring, a treat to enjoy at the end of the day—one to be savored slowly and without haste.

You can enjoy it on its own or paired with Podolico cheese bites, or with aged pecorino for a more “robust” spirit, or with goat’s milk toma for something more delicate.

A classic pairing is with high-quality dark chocolate.

Of course, you can pair whiskey with fine cigars or excellent pipe tobacco; English Mixtures that aren’t overly fragrant but are rich in flavor will provide a truly indulgent experience to round out your day.
