Here at the KOTQ we believe in the synergies between single malt scotch and sushi. With that in mind when I had Rambler, Badger, Irving, with soon to be inducted G-Man and guest Jabes along with several other people over for one of my home-made sushi events the members stepped up big time and brought enough single malts to produce a tasting sidebar to the sushi event.

Rambler brought Clynelish 14 which paired early and often with spicy tuna and sakana san shu (yellowtail, salmon, and ahi oromaki).

Badger brought Tobermory 10 which paired wonderfully with the fire and red dragons.

The piece de resistance was Irving’s lending some of his legendary Littlemill 8 which was the perfect accompaniment to the double salmon (spicy down the middle, salmon on top).

The spread ready to go and awaiting the guests’ first order.

Double ahi: spicy tuna down the center, ahi on top.

The first tray of the evening. Negihamachi and an ebi ton with spicy tuna on top.

The ultimate roll of the evening: a double salmon with torched/toasted unagi and masago with unagi sauce.
