Whisky and Spirits

Whisky is a distillate obtained from the fermentation and subsequent distillation of various cereals, matured in wooden casks. Some grains, often barley, are germinated and turned into malt. The best whiskies in the world are considered to be Scotch, American, Irish and in recent years also Japanese whiskies.

Whisky is the quintessential meditation spirit, an end-of-day pampering to be indulged in without haste.

You can make it on its own or accompany it with podolico cheese or a mature pecorino for a more 'powerful' distillate or with a goat's toma cheese for something more delicate.

Classic is the combination with a dark chocolate of excellent quality.

Of course, whisky can be paired with fine cigars or excellent pipe tobacco, English Mixtures that are not too fragrant but intense will provide strong emotions for a real end-of-day pampering.
