chocolate, dried fruit and nuts, plain biscuits all work really well. Ice cream a great one. Couldn't agree more about your cheese takes - on pizza and in a toastie only
Nice one Matt, these are some good pairings. Cheese is big for me but since you're not a fan I also like to have pickled stuff (okra, gherkins or plums), dried fruits (figs, apricot, raisins, mulberries), raw or smoked fish. Honorable mention for me as well that I absolutely love having a cold one next to my whisky. Depending on the whisky I could go for some IPA s, lagers or stouts. Cheers my friend!
Ah! Pickles would definitely be a great contrast! And I agree with you on the beers. In the Irish Whiskey Society, we did a whiskey and beer pairing evening and it was really well received!
Well said. Peat can add to the experience. For fish, I'll usually go with the Balvenie Double Wood due to its lemon characters. For steak, I'll go with a bourbon. That's about as in depth as I get lol. Cheers to ya.
What's your favourite whiskey and food pairing!?

@marcmacgiollaeain9020 ice cream, now there's a good idea!
When I worked in event catering, pairing was my focus. Another great pairing with whiskey is dried fruit, especially figs and dates. Good stuff, Matt!
Oh yes Vino! Dried fruits can work so well as a pairing!
# 4 for sure, plus I love that color container 😂 Are those Le Crueset???
Haha! You know your cookware! They are indeed, and I've been using them a lot over the holidays for deep fill cookies! 🤣
@@TheWhiskeyNerdgreat product for sure

Cheers to you too, and yeah sometimes a bit of smoke or spice is just what you need!
Cool Topic awesome video
Cheers!
Great topic Matt, something I needed education on! Cheers!
Glad it was helpful! Sláinte!
Grilled meats, smoked meats, dried fruit, sweet and spiced nuts.
Some great options there!
Matt, strangely I never have whiskey while eating. Am.I missing out??
You might be missing out, if even just to know that you don't like doing food pairings and prefer drinking whiskey straight!! 😂
