Neal’s Yard Dairy - Montgomery’s Clothbound Cheddar, aged 1 yr (Somerset-UK, priced per ounce)

Classic English Cheddar is an entirely different experience than American cheddar.  These clothbound cheeses are dense and complex, highlighted by distinctive overtones of horseradish and mustard.  The Montgomery's is as classic as it comes; it's from Somerset County, home of a village called Cheddar, where the stuff was invented a long, long time ago.  

Pair with your favorite Bourbon.
