The English Single Malt - reviewed by chef Danny

Posted by Tattersalls Club on Friday, September 06, 2019

It was the perfect month to ask chef Danny to review the whisky of the month, being 'the English' in our own team (Danny hails from Essex).

Both Danny and head chef Nathan love to experiment with flavours, recently house smoking the USA special of Kansas City pork ribs. A fan of smokey flavours, this month's whisky suited Danny perfectly, as it is The English's smokey release.

Danny's review below:

Colour

Light in colour, great viscosity.

Nose

Easy on the nose, nice aroma of cinnamon and orange peel.

Palette

Not too earthy on the palate, light peaty flavour.

Water

A full-bodied taste and doesn't taste too watered down.

Finish

Smooth finish, with a lingering overtone of vanilla and honey.

Many thanks Danny for taking the time to review this month's whisky. To try some of Danny and Nathan's amazing menu items you can make a booking with the team at dine@tattersallsclub.org.

Cuisine of the quarter USA - September special Boston Clam Chowder

Posted by Tattersalls Club on Friday, September 06, 2019

As the American quarter comes to an end, you need to nourish the soul, feed the body and give yourself a hug in a bowl of chowder; known to warm up your belly and tantalise your tastebuds. For a meal that's high on flavour and low on fuss.

In 1939, a bill was introduced into legislature in the state of Maine that would make the use of tomatoes in clam chowder against the law because a lot of people claimed that adding tomatoes to clam chowder is strongly discouraged in some parts of the northeast and would ruin the taste.

So here at Tattersalls, chef Danny will be showing you just how tasty sticking to tradition will be, yes you guessed it! We are stewing up the Boston Clam Chowder, traditionally made with bacon and leeks.

We suggest matching with a glass of our Nugan Estate Pinot Grigio, a light and acidic wine beautifully paired with a clam driven broth.

Enjoy for lunch or dinner every Thursday in September as part of our Cuisine of the Quarter USA.

Canadian Club 20 year old - August Whisky of the Month

Posted by Tattersalls Club on Monday, August 19, 2019

This month our events manager Kate has reviewed our latest Whisky Club arrival, Canadian Club 20 year old. You can read her review below. Thanks Kate for your great review!

Not being a whisky connoisseur myself, I thought I would take one for the team and volunteer to taste and review this month’s Whisky Club whisky of the month - the Canadian Club 20 YO Whisky, and to be honest I was very pleasantly surprised!

It’s been so cold these past few days so I wanted to take my whisky tasting journey to the sunshine in Hyde Park and I asked chef Nathan to whip me up a cheese plate to accompany. With the sun shining and the warmth of this delicious whisky, I was in heaven.

Colour

Burnt orange toffee. Hues of red, orange and yellow.

Nose

Sweet candy, oak, maple and pear.

Palette

Vanilla, toffee. Smooth and almost creamy…buttery and mature.

Water

Underlines the rye and opens the flavour. Accentuates the sweetness.

Finish

Long and warm, honey with a touch a lemon.

Watch this space for takeaway cheese and antipasto platters to enjoy in Hyde Park coming to Tattersalls Club Members this Spring! We won’t tell if you choose to have some Canadian Club 20 YO Whisky with it…..
