A few days ago we were doing what we love most – having friends over for a tasting. After enjoying a few drams, hunger started to creep in.
Luckily, we have a tried-and-tested recipe in place for moments like this. A few basic ingredients that can be found in almost any fridge, plus it makes a great spirits pairing.
To treat your friends to this snack, you will need:
→ Baguette
→ Duck liver pâté
→ Jam (we use fig jam)
→ Oil
Add a few drops of neutral-taste oil to the pâté and stir thoroughly to get creamy and light texture.

Spread generous portions of pâté over bread and top with fig jam, mixed with a few drops of your spirit of choice.
When serving, accompany with a glass of the same drink.
Talking about spirit – what should your choice be?
Cognac or any other Brandy (Armagnac, Spanish Brandy) is our go-to category. We tried it with Delord Bas Armagnac XO and it was quite a memorable flavour experience.This time we put the recipe to test with a Scotch: Gordon & MacPhail Old Pulteney 21. Result? There was not a single breadcrumb left.
