What’s in our Glass?
This week we’re enjoying a cheeky dram or two of Jura 10 YO whisky. A 10 year old expression, it’s initially aged in American white oak bourbon barrels before being finished in Oloroso sherry butts. With its subtle smoke, robust vanilla and a lovely Christmas cake note to it, it is a very lovely dram. You can find out more about Jura distillery via this episode of our podcast and if you want to find out even more about Jura distillery then check out The Three Drinkers do Scotch Whisky on Amazon Prime.

Drinks News
Helena tells us all about what vodka and stiff napkins have in common whilst Aidy lets us know what he has discovered about Space beer!
Dine First Wine First
In this week’s ‘Dine First Wine First’ Aidy and Helena chat all about what to pair with your bottle of Viognier. Viognier, a white wine that hails from the Rhone valley in the South of France, is noted as having an oily texture, low acidity and lovely fruity notes of apricot and peach. If you like Chardonnay, you’ll no doubt like this. Helena recommends trying bottles from the Condrieu wine region and we’ve got to say, we’re curious to try her wine-food pairing suggestions too…
Mixology with Aidy
Aidy pops on his mixology hat and lets us know all about fruitier whisky cocktails. Check out his pineapple whisky sour below (we’ve tried it and YUM… just sayin’)…
Pineapple whisky sour
60ml good scotch like the Jura 10 year old
25ml Lemon juice
25ml Pineapple juice
2tsp caster sugar
1 egg white
Pineapple garnish
Method:
Place the sugar, whisky, lemon juice, pineapple juice and egg white into a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake vigorously for 15-30 seconds. Strain into an old fashioned cocktail glass and serve.
