This whisky sauce made in the Thermomix is rich, flavourful, and easy to make. Perfect for steak, haggis, or roast vegetables, it’s a versatile addition to any meal!
We usually enjoy it with our Burns supper alongside traditional haggis, neeps, and tatties or chicken balmoral with whisky sauce.
This whisky sauce recipe is actually part of a recipe to make a haggis and pancetta roulade…I haven’t attempted the roulade!
I'm not a whisky fan at all, but David is (especially peaty ones), but I really do enjoy this whisky sauce!

Tips
- Whisky choice - the first time I made this whisky sauce in the Thermomix, I used a blended whisky, but when making it again, and every time since, I use a single malt from Islay. I must admit, as much as I don't like whisky and most especially the smell of whisky from Islay, it is absolutely delicious in this sauce!
- Alcohol-free option - replace the whisky with cider vinegar or more stock for a family-friendly version.
- Additional ingredients - trying add Dijon mustard, caramelised onions or fresh herbs like thyme or parsley for a unique twist.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Yes - prepare the sauce and keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the hob or in the Thermomix, adding a splash of stock to refresh the texture, if needed.
A smooth Scotch whisky or bourbon works best. Avoid overly peaty whiskies unless you enjoy strong smoky flavours (see Tips!).
As this isn't a cream-based whisky sauce, it can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw and reheat gently on the hob or in the Thermomix, adding a splash of stock to refresh the texture, if needed.
Add a splash of cream, milk, or stock to thin it to your desired consistency. Stir well to incorporate.
Absolutely - use vegetable stock and pair it with roast vegetables, vegetarian steaks, or mashed potatoes.
Serve with steak, haggis, pork chops, grilled chicken, or roasted root vegetables. It’s also delicious over baked potatoes or pasta.

Haggis and Pancetta Roulade with Whisky Sauce

Ingredients
- 150g shallots, halved

- 100g whisky (see Tips)
- 250g beef stock
- 1 tsp cornflour

Non-Thermomix Instructions
I'd suggest the recipe can easily be made using a medium saucepan, the hob, and a stick blender.
My suggestions are as follows:
- Finely chop the shallots. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over a medium heat, then add the chopped shallots, and sauté for 5 minutes – stirring constantly.
- Add the whisky and stock then bring to the boil and cook on a steady simmer for 5 minutes – stirring constantly.
- In a small cup or bowl, dissolve the cornflour in a small amount of cold water and then add this liquid, the salt, and pepper to the pan and cook on a steady simmer for 2 minutes – stirring constantly to ensure no lumps form. Blend with a stick blender for 30 seconds to get a smooth consistency.
- Transfer the sauce to a serving jug and enjoy it along with your Burns supper.
