Our little company has been attempting to make blue cheese since the late 90's, sometimes it's almost an average cheese. <br /><br />I struggle with the Islay malts, Bunnahabhain and Bruichladdich being unpronouncable but at least palatable. Then again I do tend to drink blends with ice and soda so what does that say!<br /><br />6 inches of snow here in 4 hours.<br /><br />Keep up the excellent work.

It worked really well for the whisky drinkers but was a bit too much for those who weren't. <br /><br />Lesson learned though. I think the Ardbeg was too smoky whereas had I given them something more sherried and accessible I might have won a few hearts and minds.<br /><br />They all loved the cheese though!WhiskyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09172907062941534879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780052879752497291.post-52640423975343381722010-02-23T04:43:32.133-08:002010-02-23T04:43:32.133-08:00Thank you so much for working with our cheese.

Tain is better known for its export of Glenmorangie, they also own Ardbeg and they suggested that the saltiness of the cheese went well with the Islay malt, so you are spot on. I am on a months drying out as firstly February is the shortest and secondly I was rattling a bit after St Andrews/Christmas/New Year (Hogmanay)/Burn's Night so roll on Monday 1st March as I have a thirst on.
