A Balanced HeartAre you a fan of Pinot Gris or Pinot Grigio? They actually come from the same variety of grape, a white varietal with a skin colour that ranges from pink to greyish-blue, from which it draws its name (grey being gris in French). Presumably native to Burgundy and mainly cultivated in Alsace, Pinot Gris produces rich wines with a silky texture. But it’s the Italians we have to thank for the internationally recognized Pinot Grigio name. These Mediterranean neighbours create a light, vibrant, crisp and easy-to-drink wine that pleases the greatest number of people.

Scotch, Bourbon or Whisky? They’re all whiskies, produced by the distillation of fermented cereals (like barley, rye, wheat, corn) and matured in oak barrels for long periods. However, only Scotland is authorized to use the “Scotch” appellation for its whiskies, which are among the most prestigious in the world. Named for the U.S. county where it was first made, bourbon comes from Kentucky, which remains its predominant producer. As for whiskey with an “e,” it’s simply the Irish and American term for whisky!
Whisky is synonymous with relaxation, and we can find more than enough occasions to kick back. Whether at cocktail hour, with dinner or after a good meal, whisky is incredibly versatile. With so many varieties to choose from, whisky tastes just as great with or without ice, with or without a splash of water, as part of a cocktail, with salty snacks, in a sauce or alongside a delightful dessert.

How to begin? The world of fine spirits can seem intimidating at first, but don’t let that stop you. Use the FIVE TASTE TAGS to guide you. Start with the mildest and work your way toward the most powerful: “light and floral,” “medium-bodied and fruity,” “medium-bodied and woody,” “full-bodied and complex,” “full-bodied and smoky.” There aren’t any secrets, you just have to try them all!

MOUTH-WATERING MATCHESThanks to its spicy notes evoking fresh pepper, ginger, honey and orange zest, Bushmills Original is the ideal candidate to underscore the spicy side of a pepper steak or an apple-cinnamon crumble.
