Whisky-Peach Caprese Bites
A fresh twist on a classic, these vibrant bites pair sweet, whisky-glazed peach slices with creamy mozzarella and fragrant basil. Finished with a drizzle of balsamic glaze, they’re juicy, elegant, and bursting with flavour in every mouthful.
Perfect for summer gatherings, garden parties, or as a light appetiser, they’re quick to assemble and make a stylish addition to any platter. Swap in nectarines or plums for a seasonal variation, or go plant-based with vegan mozzarella. Bright, boozy, and beautifully balanced.

In these recipes we haven’t specified the whisky to use, as you know what you like best, and it also allows you to experiment.
However, if you want a start, a good light, vanilla forward single malt to use would be The Glasgow Distillery’s Original. If you are looking to add some smokey depth, try The English Smokey, or if you want something fruity, try Arran Sherry Cask ‘The Bodega’.
