The local launch of the new Viognier Cask whisky will be an exclusive whisky and cheese pairing event at the Cape Byron Distillery on Thursday, January, 4 2024 at 5pm. The Studd Siblings have been invited to pair their specially-selected cheeses with the Cape Byron Whisky range, and celebrate the recent release of their first book, The Best Things in Life are Cheese.
Over the last decade, Ellie and Sam Studd have travelled Australia and the world, working with celebrated cheesemongers and makers, and learning to make, mature, and sell cheese.
In their book, they share their wealth of knowledge and teach readers how to buy and store cheese, pair it perfectly every time, and put together a rockstar cheese board (with whisky).
The event is ticketed with limited seats. $65 will score you a decadent tasting of four Cape Byron Whiskies paired with four Studd cheeses and some fun stories and insights into whisky making and the cheese journey from both the Cape Byron spiritual advisors and the Studd Siblings.
More info and tickets are available through their website https://capebyrondistillery.com/visit-our-byron-distillery/ and social media pages @capebyrondistillery.
