These little date and pistachio truffles are delicious with whisky. Flavoured with orange and cinnamon, they work well with single malts that have matured in sherry and bourbon casks but they can be adapted to enhance the flavours of other whiskies. Kept in an airtight container, they remain moist for a week.
