{ }
As a whisky lover, we are sure that you will
thoroughly enjoy our special whisky edition of
Makro’s Local is Liquor. Every article in this edition
was written by the whisky gurus themselves. So sit
back, pour yourself a dram of your favourite whisky,
and be prepared for a whisky journey that will
transport you away to a world of pleasure.
Dave tells us more about Whisky
Making Around The World; as well
as sharing with us his opinions on
grain whiskies. Read about the biggest
whisky show in the world – our very
own Whisky Live Show, which is
taking place from 2 – 4 November in
Cape Town, and 9 – 11 November in
Johannesburg. Don’t miss it!
Read about which whiskies Jason
Duganzich, one of South Africa’s
leading Whisky experts, thinks you
should try before you die.
The distillery featured this month
is the beautiful Laphroaig distillery
(the name means: “the beautiful
hollow by the broad bay”) situated on
the scenic Isle of Islay.
Our experts (Jonathan Miles,
Dave Hughes, Marsh Middleton and
Steve Adams) give their opinions on
the magnificent Johnnie Walker Blue
Label – which will make you want to
run out and invest in a bottle of this
liquid gold.
Then there is food – delicious dishes that pair well
with whisky: Brie & Pear Soup; Whisky and Chili Tiger
Prawns; Tuna Tartare on Avo Cream; Lamb Cutlets
with Coffee-Chocolate Sauce – not to mention our
delicious whisky deserts. And as usual, cocktails made
with whisky – all and all, enough to urge you to have a
“Whisky” dinner party to really impress your friends.
The only thing left to say is cheers in all the whisky
languages:
Cheers, Gesondheid: South Africa
Cheers: America
Slainte: Ireland
Slainte, Here’s tae yer: Scotland
Kampai Banzi: Japan.
Until next time.
