Indulging in the Craft of Cheese and Whiskey Pairings

Send us a text


Embark on a sensory expedition that merges the rich heritage of
Wisconsin cheese with the bold world of bourbon. My best friend
Stephen Puetzer, a connoisseur of fine cheeses, sent me an array
for the holidays to navigate some exquisite bourbon pairings.
Together, we unlock the magic that happens when you sip a Kevin
Kissner barrel pick from Chicken Cock alongside a bite of smoked
cheddar, or the way Baker's 13 finds a creamy counterpart in
smoked Gouda. Expect to be whisked away on a delectable journey
that promises to tantalize your taste buds and elevate your
whiskey experience to new heights.

The episode unfolds like a lively dinner party, complete with
spontaneous moments and hearty laughter. One such unexpected
delight comes when my parents phone in, adding a layer of warmth
to our musings on whiskey and cheese pairings. We don't just stop
at cheese, though; the inclusion of garlic salami and pepperoni
takes the flavor exploration further, showcasing how even simple
foods can dramatically alter the character of a bourbon. Through
these pairings, I showcase the educational journey of matching
these flavors, proving it's about more than just the taste—it's
about the stories we share and the memories we create.

As we draw our tasting voyage to a close, I leave you with some
expert recommendations to try at home. I reveal how salty cheeses
can beautifully contrast with lower proof, wheated bourbons, or
how the right chocolate can make a robust spirit sing. It's not
only a lesson in whiskey and cheese but also a testament to the
joy of discovery and the art of good company. So, grab your
favorite bourbon, slice up some artisanal cheese, and let's revel
in the joy of pairing whiskey and cheese together.
