Unbottling With Terri

03/25/2026

There are so many things I want to say about this experience and not enough space to describe it - so I’ve decided to add this to one of my podcast episode.

Road tripping back to Canada from Kentucky’s Beam Conference was about 5.5 hrs. I feel I won the lottery hanging out with Dr. Don, but what you don’t know is I’ve been a bug in his ear forever! Since the days when blending class was only offered once a year. To finally be here, the stories, Hiram Walkers true beginnings and influence in the making of Canada, the art of blending, the true pirates of the sea rum runners of prohibition…. Where do we even begin? We begin at the start.

The whisky and science community continue to fuel my love for this industry in spite of all my own barriers to entry and roadblocks. My journey continues to evolve and I am more in love with it today.

To be continued…

Pt 7: Whisky & Dumplings

is making Momo’s!! A traditional Tibetan dish that gained popularity in the 1960s across Northern India. Chef Tushar, owner of .kavita changes up the recipe for a vegetarian dumpling. The brightness of these vegetables compliments perfectly with Glenfiddich 15yr Solera Reserve. They’re both bright and light whiskies, with the whisky balancing the salts and oils while the crunch of the vegetables add texture to the mouthfeel. Drool worthy!!!

I am thoroughly impressed by all the pairings.
But we can’t leave out dessert. Check our last video on pairing a pastry with whisky!

Thank you and PMA for the contribution!
