Whisky
Flavour profile
Fruity
A great place to start if you're new to whiskies as the aromas are delicate, soft, with hints of grain and fruit. Perfect as an apéritif, served with light fish or mild Asian dishes (such as spring rolls), or mixed with ginger ale/beer and a squeeze of lime over ice.
Flavour profile
SpiCY
These whiskies, which often come from the Scottish islands, are warm and mellow, with clean, grassy, cereal flavours. There's a definite, yet subtle, smokiness too, which makes them great alongside cured ham, cheese, smoked salmon and dark chocolate, or mixed with soda and a twist of lemon over ice.
Flavour profile
SWEET
The warming flavours of dried fruits, nuts, toffee, cinnamon and nutmeg of these medium-bodied whiskies come from time spent maturing in oak casks – often ex-sherry barrels. They're especially good with puddings (ginger sponge, crème brûlée, fruit cake), neat as an after-dinner drink or mixed into an Old Fashioned cocktail.
Flavour profile
SMOKY
Robust and warming, these whiskies – many found on Islay – are known for their intense peaty smokiness, which overlays rich flavours of vanilla and fruit cake. Try them with salty food like oysters, alongside blue cheese (Stilton, Gorgonzola, Roquefort), or mixed with soda water over ice and an added pinch of white pepper.

The different spelling comes from the modern translation of the Gaelic term 'uisce beatha' meaning 'water of life'. In Irish this became whiskey; in Scottish it became whisky
