Digestif, anyone?
After-dinner drinks are the most pleasant way to end a meal, enhance the entire culinary experience, and extend a leisurely evening with your friends, family, or self.
For many, topping off an evening at a waterfront fine dining in the Cayman Islands is with a sophisticated after-dinner drink. It‘s so delightful to sip a sweet cordial or a single-malt Scotch while watching the sun slowly melt into the horizon over the Caribbean Sea.
There’s no finer way to appreciate the beauty of the environment and the soul-warming smoothness of a special rum, bourbon, or cordial.
Often, a variety of restaurants and top bars in the Cayman Islands offer extensive after-dinner drinks, including rare bourbons, a vintage port collection, limited edition liquors, and delectable dessert wines.
Some might choose a warm French Sauterne to balance a rich dessert or a port to complement an array of cheeses, while others would go ahead with single-barrel bourbon to enhance the sumptuous flavor of a chocolate cake.
Enjoying drinks after dinner can be beneficial for you!
These after-dinner drinks, or digestifs, are as satisfying as they are sophisticated (think: 1940s movies), and – bonus – they’re good for you! They are said to settle an uneasy stomach, help digest food, relieve stress, and reduce inflammation.
This is why connoisseurs pair their treasured tipple with culinary dishes like salmon, sushi, pasta, salad, cheese & nuts, chicken, and more.
The history of these intense alcoholic beverages dates back to the fifth century, it showcases that the tradition has survived for good reason!
The French picked up on this marvelous idea in the late 1800s, but quite by accident. Apparently, a chemist created a fortified wine with a blend of herbs and spices as a way to disguise the bitter taste of quinine, which was used to fight malaria among soldiers in the French Foreign Legion.
The digestif or after dinner drinks were already popular in Italy, where stylish cafes served regional favourites. It is still quite popular in both countries today, as well as in America, and, thankfully, the trend has spread across oceans and is available to those who truly enjoy premier dining and want to savor a selection of their choice from the Cayman Islands after dinner drinks menu.
It is an absolute pleasure to be able to choose from such a broad spectrum of after-dinner drinks while making the most of your time at waterfront fine dining establishments.
The list of blended & single malt Scotch whisky and rare bourbons alone is bountiful: Macallan 12-year-old single malt, as well as Macallan Sienna, blended Scotch, Johnnie Walker Blue Label blended and King George blended Scotch, Glenfarclas 40-year single malt, Elijah Craig 18-year single barrel Kentucky bourbon, and A. H. Hirsch Reserve (16 years old), just to name a very few!
If you are in the mood to relish something vintage, Quinta do Noval, Douro, 1994, and Warre’s Douro, 1996 are your best picks.
