Scots love Indian food - ‘curry’ is more or less considered a Scottish national dish nowadays - and Indians love Scotch whisky - in fact India represents the largest whisky market in the world.The concept of ‘Indian food’ is hard to define – the country is vast and varied and its array of dishes likewise, but of one thing we can be certain – spices reign supreme!
The complex flavours to be found in Indian dishes are reflected in the layers of aroma to be found in Scotch whisky
. The organic compounds contained in spices such as cumin, cardamom, cloves or nutmeg to name but a few, are soluble in alcohol. So guess what? That’s right! Whisky accentuates their flavour and gives you, the taster a more intense gastronomic experience!You don’t believe us? Well come along and find out for yourself!
