Want to make a bet? We say that once you make this cheesy delight, you’ll have some in the fridge forever after. It’ll transform all kinds of food into a delectable dish.It’s super simple to make and very versatile. You can spread it on bagels, toasties, lavosh or put a dollop of it over some oven-roasted potatoes. The sky’s the limit.

Whisky HQ has a brand new home and an-ever expanding team of whisky legends. That means we need more furniture. And we never miss an opportunity to infuse a little whisky in every aspect of our lives — because why wouldn’t you? So, when it was time to up-size our desks here at Club HQ. We came up with the ultimate whisky solution: a giant whisky barrel desk!

The verdict’s in, folks. It seems women generally have a better sense of smell than men. 

How good is gravy? Well, it’s even better when you add a nice splash of whisky! But then again, a lot of things are better when you add a splash of whisky. Throw in a cup of mushrooms to increase the fun (gi) factor (couldn’t help it, sorry) and you’ve got yourself a comforting, winter staple.

Creamy, rich and delicious — cauliflower and cheese is the ultimate winter comfort food. Add a dash of whisky and this classic dish takes on a whole new delectable flavour.

Serve it as a side with your favourite main course, or bulk up the ingredients and make a meal of it.

Gooey cheese, crusty bread and a hint of whisky — we guarantee this will become your go-to winter comfort snack or your next best party trick. It’s easy to make and there’s no need to make a trip to your local shop, you’ve probably got the ingredients in the kitchen already.

Heat up that grill and let’s get going, whisky lovers.

A little sweet, a little savoury and very, very tasty. You can use this delicious and decadent jam in a whole lot of ways: think a dollop with some crackers for an afternoon snack; slathered over fresh toast or a generous spoonful on a juicy beef burger. Let’s be honest, it’s pretty damn tasty straight out of the jar, too.

This chocolate and whisky sauce is creamy and luxurious — not to mention very, very delicious. In just a few easy steps, you’ll be on your way to choc-drenched whisky bliss. Drizzle it over vanilla ice cream, poached pears or fresh strawberries.
