Watch what you eat.

Yesterday I had a cheese and onion sandwhich with some hot english mustard. Delicious I must say. However as everyone knows, quite a strong and lasting taste is left in the mouth. It made the whisky I had that evening taste awfull. None of the whisky I tried tasted anything like they ought to. Proof if any were needed that what you eat plays an important part in the whisky taste experience

Totally agreed, but I do find that eating something fairly bland like crackers or Triscuits can help cleans the palate a little.

Good topic ,,. I have found that most foods will ruin a good whisky. But I'll have to try some bland, unsalted crackers that @garageburrito suggested. My best tasting moment is before a meal, when I have not eaten anything for a while, and the taste buds are more alert. Also, I'm sure it works in some situations, but I usually feel that good whisky is wasted during or after a flavorful or spicey meal. Then there is the musical tune entitled "whiskey before breakfast" :-)
