Whisky passion. That's why I'm in the industry... Sales figures, budgets and logistics, those are side effects. Those are elements which need to be dealt with, but not in the ideal world, not in a world consumed by passion.
This week I hosted a corporate whisky dinner @ Westin Grand. A lovely,mixed crowd. I sat opposite gentlemen who had been drinking Scotch longer than I've been alive, but whom had never paired Scotch with food.
The delight and sheer pleasure of seeing a person, clearly mature in age, trying something new and loving it, is pure joy!In SA there are the few souls who are lucky enough to have attended well planned and thought out whisky dinners.....
To those of you whom have not, do yourselves a culinary delightful favour and the next time you get an invite , go, and attend with an open mind.....
We live in South Africa, where we are blessed enough to have loads of elegant wine pairing dinners, now is the time (winter... ) to create a whisky inspired dinner , or to accept the invitation to "that" whisky dinner...
South Africa (as the 5th largest
consumer of Whisky in the world) has Huge talent, and any whisky dinner publicized by a reputable brand will be we'll worth your (and your taste buds) while.
Welcome to winter, welcome to the wonderful world of whisky!
