Scotch Dinner Party!



It’s always good to have a regular get together with your closest of friends, i recently thought of organizing one Scotch only party!

I had everyone to get their favorite Scotch and have a big Scotch get together!
And majority ended up getting Black Dog Triple Gold Reserve!

But what sort of food do you serve at a "Black Dog Triple Gold Reserve" party since everyone ended up with the getting the same Scotch? What goes well with their complex tastes and doesn't overwhelm nor embitter them? Perhaps most importantly, what won't break the bank or be too cumbersome to prepare? 
After digging around online, here is what I served.

Cheese
Pair smoky or spicy Scotch whiskies, with a stronger cheese like Roquefort. To capture variety, I served a cheese plate from Costco that included sharp cheddar, swiss, havarti, and gouda.

Chocolate
Scotch Whiskey is a great complement to chocolate, especially dark chocolate. The more coco, the better.

Fruit
Something tangy or tart, like apples or pears, goes well with Scotch whiskey. Try to stay away from fruits that contain too much citrus, like oranges -- this will mask too much of the Scotch whiskey's flavour.

Chips Snacks
Scotch goes well with Salty plain chips, peanuts as the taste is not not over powering and you enjoy every sip of the fine Black Dog Scotch Whisky.

Meat options
Smoked meat and fish, which go well with smoky Scotch whiskies. 

Keep in mind that I held a party and not a tasting, which comes with a whole other slew of foods and rules. The only rule at my party was to enjoy Scotch and retain all food eaten. If you're more ambitious than me, you can prepare a three-course dinner using foods that pair well with Scotch whiskey.
