Whiskey Lunch: Three Plates, Three Drams with Bushmills — Wednesday 29 July

Whiskey Lunch: Three Plates, Three Drams

Midweek calls for a steadying lunch — and Wednesday’s drams come from the house that wrote the rulebook.

The Morning Star has been feeding Belfast from its perch above Pottinger’s Entry since the 1800s — a proper Victorian pub up a cobbled entry off Ann Street, with a kitchen that takes Ulster produce every bit as seriously as its whiskey shelf. For Belfast Whiskey Week it sets the table for our favourite lunchtime ritual: three small plates from that kitchen, each one matched to a dram.

Wednesday belongs to Bushmills — the North Coast benchmark, with over four centuries of distilling heritage behind the name. Familiar doesn’t mean predictable: matched plate by plate with the Morning Star kitchen, these are drams you’ll taste as if for the first time. Three pours, three plates, one very good hour and a half.
