We know that our Bulgarian brandy goes hand in hand with Shopska salad, pickles or sauerkraut, but would such salads and appetizers fit a "more like" drink, such as whiskey. And in general, precisely because of its gentlemanly note, whether it is good whiskey to be served with appetizers?
Although for a long time the Bulgarian thought that whiskey is drunk only clean (possibly with only a few lumps of ice - again our rule, which most connoisseurs of whiskey deny), today it is known that there are some appetizers that go especially well with whiskey. Here's what is good to learn in this regard and what the whiskey is served with in different countries.

Do you remember Wickeda's song, which sings whiskey with peanuts and from time to time - almonds… The truth is that they match the whiskey almost all kinds of nuts, and in some countries even this alcoholic beverage is served with dried fruit. After all, almonds and hazelnuts are a classic.
In Scotland, for example, which is in dispute with Ireland whether the original whiskey is Scottish or Irish, this drink is often served with roast meats. Bacon and roasted ham are revered. This is especially true when the table offers high-alcohol and stronger-tasting whiskey.
In Ireland, whiskey is often served with smoked salmon, caviar sandwiches, cod and even mussels.
In the United States in many restaurants you can meet served whiskey with fried foods, including french fries, and in Europe you should not be surprised if you see all kinds of chocolate desserts with whiskey, including baked pies.
Cheeses with a sharper taste, such as blue cheese, are quite suitable for any whiskey, as long as it has a high percentage of alcohol and a strong taste.
Many prefer to consume with whiskey and dark chocolate.
And if you do not have any of the above appetizers suitable for whiskey, it is most likely that some carrots are in your refrigerator. Cut the carrot into thin strips, dip it in a glass of lemon juice and you will not go wrong. In fact, this is how the cocktail carrot sticks, which you have seen in the bars and which fit all kinds of "hard" drinks, are prepared.
And here we have hidden for you the recipe for homemade whiskey. If you find it strange to mix homemade alcohol at home, trust one of these tried and tested whiskey recipes.
