Scampi Sashimi

goes perfectly with our 
Glenfiddich 12 Year Old

The pear and oak notes of the whisky complement the scampi sashimi, while both are similarly delicate. The flavours of the coriander and chilli will coat the mouth and then be released by a sip of the spirit. The olive oil introduces that fattiness that never fails to help a pairing.

Dutch Apple Pie

Enjoy with either
Glenfiddich 12 or 18 Year Old

The Netherlands is renowned for its apple pies, and there’s a dram to suit all the different varieties. If the pie is light and fruity, the fresh pear notes of the 12 Year Old strikes the perfect balance of flavours. If the pie has a richer taste and includes cinnamon and raisins, pair it with our fuller bodied Glenfiddich 18 Year Old.
