| THE CABIN COLLECTION |
for both digestion and contemplation (and at this rate, a bottle of Amaro should last through the winter). If worried about overt bitterness, opt for Averna Amaro Siciliano. It’s a cola- coloured, unctuous pour that effortlessly melds its herbal and citrus tones to an evidently sweet core, providing an overall easygoing style of Amaro. Spirits: Blended Scotch If winter is coming, there may be a time that calls for something more spirited! Whisky also sees its share of roasted malts and packs a robust punch, making it a shoo-in for the cabin collection. Yes, there are all manner of single malts that would fit the bill, but for an all-purpose fireside tipple there’s no need to get precious. Pick up a bottle of blended Scotch whisky such as Cutty Sark and appreciate its melange of herbaceous notes, vanilla and smoky peat. The simple things in life can create real comfort and coziness. Wine: Sparkling Wait just a second! Isn’t sparkling wine all about bright acidity and exuberant excitement? How does this fit the entire cabin collection canon? Well, the reality is that any occasion can warrant good bubbles. And well, there’s something absolutely endearing (and comforting) about seeing the sparkle in a companion’s eye as the sparkling wine and conversation flows amongst the backdrop of a crackling fire and snow falling all around. Just make sure the bubbly is rich and toasty!
