Markos Priftis, a whisky expert from Ham on Rye, emphasizes the importance of food pairings to enhance whisky tastings. Unlike the traditional approach of categorizing whiskies by geography, he recommends considering their tasting profiles. He highlights the contrasting flavor pairings that can elevate floral and fragrant whiskies, suggesting options like cold cuts or raw fish to bring out sweetness. Priftis specifically endorses Glen Grant 10 paired with ceviche or prosciutto and melon, demonstrating the synergy between whisky and thoughtfully chosen accompaniments.
"The preparation method chosen by the master distiller and the master blender is unique for each label."
"Whether you're wanting to try labels that offer sweeter notes of fruit or pour punchier glasses of peat, tobacco, or smoke, the right compilation of foods can help highlight some of the special whisky tasting notes found in each dram."
"Priftis encourages whisky-loving hosts to sample drams of Glen Grant 10 alongside ceviche or creatively plated pieces of prosciutto that is served with cubes of ripe melon."
"Whisky is not the king of spirits by chance."
