British song-writer turned cheese aficionado Alex James has teamed up with The Athenaeum hotel's head chef David Marshall and and resident whisky sommelier, Angelo Gobbi to create a unique Cheese and Whiskey food-pairing menu. The menu is a celebration of the hotel's whiskey bar which The Luxury Travel Bible reported on last year. In addition to the menu these food and drink experts have created the hotel's very own scotch-infused cream cheese called 'Athenaeum'.
Alex James developed his knowledge of cheese following a move to the country and building his own award-winning cheese factory. He says "The range of flavours spanned by first class cheese and whisky is so vast that matching them can be quite a tricky business. The Athenaeum team and I feel confident we have found the ultimate combinations of superlative whisky and fine cheese".
The menu can be enjoyed in the bar, which offers over 270 rare whiskies, or in the comfort of their own room. With these three experts' vast knowledge of fine food and drink TLTB expects the menu to be nothing less than mouth-watering.
