Snowdonia Cheese Company's “Amber Mist”, a mature Cheddar with whisky.
This needed no interference or pairing with anything else from me. They've got it absolutely spot on, I contacted the company to ask what whisky they used but all they have told me is that it’s Scotch whisky.
So, not wishing to detract from the sublimity of this combination, I tried it with Innis and Gunn “Original” single malt whisky cask matured Scottish golden beer, it was OK but it didn’t need it, this cheese is perfect as it is, now one of my favourites, (until the next one…..).
Update – It goes very well with 12 Year Old Aberfeldy…
I am becoming an addict as this cheese is delicious. It is crumbly and has a gentle flavour. It is of a moreish quality but it probably should be eaten on special occasions.
👍
5 stars 🌟 will order again.
Absolutely gorgeous cheese and has taken our cheeseboards to a new level. Whisky flavour was subtle but definitely there; cheese has never disappeared so quickly
