A Spirited Cheese Pairing Part 2

Buffalo Trace has an excellent line of whiskies. I chose to go with the White Dog because I am starting to realize just how beneficial a good white dog is to a spirits collection. It has a fantastic flavor and is incredibly fiery, but is full of complexity and character. I think some people get intimidated by a white dog, but this one is not as harsh as others that I have tasted.

Smells like grilled corn, very wheaty. Fresh and crisp, with a dry mouthfeel. Definitely some fire going down but a great aftertaste. Notes of peaches and berries, with some defined acidity.

Cheese: Winnimere

This cheese was incredibly, for lack of a better word, stinky. However, it had an incredibly briny quality to it that was a nice complement to the fire of the White Dog. It was able to calm the burn and delivered a salty, nutty and slightly smoked finish.
