Today marks the 40th birthday of @ThreeShipsSA in South Africa. What better way to honour that than to share @TheWhiskyMaker's notes on the history of SA whisky!
Pour a dram of Three Ships for you and your friends and let us celebrate together. Sláinte!

2/7 - Canapé on arrival: diced mushrooms and garlic, coated in breadcrumbs and lightly fried.
As described by Chef Czarnecki - "something simple to start off with, as we follow the evolution of The Beef to The Bear"
