Blanc de Blancs Champagne & Taste the Difference Whisky Smoked Salmon

We made it simple to create an extra special Christmas starter last year, with salmon infused with the smoke of oak chips made from Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Speyside Cask Whisky barrels. We suggested balancing the taste with a glass of fresh and floral bubbly.

A little bit of luxury

Last year, our Taste the Difference Speyside Cask Whisky Smoked Salmon was just the thing for making tasty party appetizers or starters for your Christmas meal. We suggested pairing it up with our award-winning Blanc de Blancs Champagne for a real treat.

Something for the grown-ups

There are lots of ways to serve smoked salmon. On mini bagels, Melba toast or grilled pitta bread. With crème fraîche, scrambled egg or just a squeeze of lemon and a sprig of dill. One thing's for sure, it tastes amazing with a glass of champagne. Over the festive season, we suggested adding some fresh orange juice to make Bucks Fizz for an adults-only brunch.
