I’m collaborating with the wonderful Ulster Folk Museum on this beautiful event pairing whiskey, poetry and food to celebrate the life & words of Robbie Burns. I’ll be making Haggis Bon Bons with a Whiskey Sauce, Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese on Homemade Oatcakes and a classic Cranachan (whipped cream, whiskey, raspberries and toasted oats) to pair with three delicious Scottish whiskys.

Here’s the details from the Ulster Folk Museum’s website:

Journey through the life of Robert Burns with an immersive Scotch whisky tasting at McCusker’s Pub in the Ulster Folk Museum.

During this guided whisky tasting, you’ll explore three single malt Scotch whiskies, each chosen for its deep connection to a defining chapter in Robert Burns’ life. Every 35ml dram is paired with a whisky-led canapé created by The Edible Flower, and accompanied by a carefully selected Burns poem to deepen your connection to the whisky and Burns.

The afternoon concludes with a folk rendition of Auld Lang Syne, followed by a farewell performance from the Harry Ferguson Memorial Pipe Band, complete with Scottish Dancing.
