There are many different assumptions made regarding the ideal pairing partners for cheeses. Wine is probably the most-frequently cited partner, and within that category there are differences of opinions on which types work best. Beer makes the ideal cheese partner for many other people.

The connoisseurs of Scotch know that the diversity of Scotch whiskeys is vast; it is not just single malts and blends. In this session you will learn about production methods that distinguish Scotch styles while tasting these delicious whiskeys alongside perfectly ripened cheeses. One of the best ways to appreciate the individual characteristics of these legendary whiskeys is to savor them alongside a range of artisanal cheeses.
