The Famous Grouse – Lobster Roll + Whisky Ginger Pairing
“Whisky pairs beautifully with a lobster roll as the creamy mayo and melted butter combination with coat your mouth and then soften the alcohol on your palate. Specifically, The Famous Grouse pairs perfectly due to the zesty orange and citrus notes, which complements the freshness of the lobster, celery, and lemon already in the recipe,” – Nicola Riske, The Famous Grouse Brand Ambassador
