Whisky écossais Single Malt

white · Orge maltée · Speyside · Écosse — 18–20°C

Speyside Single Malt Scotch (malted barley distilled in pot still, minimum 12-year ageing in bourbon barrel or sherry cask) — soft peat, caramel, vanilla and dried fruits form the traditional patriotic pairing for haggis at the Burns Supper celebrated every 25 January in Scotland; ritual of Burns nights with reading of Robert Burns' "Address to a Haggis" poem, peat edge echoing the smoky offal of the haggis stomach.

Châteauneuf-du-Pape

red · Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre · Rhône Sud · France — 17–18°C

Châteauneuf-du-Pape (13-grape blend including Grenache-Syrah-Mourvèdre-Cinsault, on rolled pebbles of southern Rhône at Châteauneuf-du-Pape) — black cherry, garrigue, leather and spices hold up to the spiced rusticity of haggis as a wine pairing; garrigue edge prolonging black pepper, allspice and nutmeg seasoning the offal, tannic structure holding the fatty mutton flesh.

Pinotage

red · Pinotage · Stellenbosch · Afrique du Sud — 15–17°C

Smoky, powerful South African Pinotage accompanies the offal and spice character of haggis.
