Why this works together

Chosen by type (whisky). Whisky goes with dishes that have their own character, with an aged cheese and, after the meal, with something with chocolate, caramel or nuts.

What is needed

For 4 people

Duck breast with cherry sauceWith the mealDuck breast with cherry sauce

Ingredients

  • 2 duck breasts
  • 300 grams cherries
  • 100 millilitres red wine
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 20 grams butter
  • 800 grams potatoes

Method

  1. Peel the potatoes and boil them in salted water for about 20 minutes until tender.
  2. Score the skin of the duck breasts in a diamond pattern, season with salt and pepper and stone the cherries.
  3. Place the duck breasts skin side down in a cold pan and cook them for 8 to 10 minutes until the skin is crisp.
  4. Turn them over, cook them for 3 to 4 minutes for pink, and leave them to rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
  5. Pour most of the fat out of the pan and cook the cherries with the red wine and the honey for 5 minutes to make a sauce.
  6. Whisk the butter into the sauce, slice the duck breast and serve with the sauce and the potatoes.
Aged GoudaWith the cheeseAged Gouda

Ingredients

  • 160 grams aged Gouda

Method

  1. Take the cheese out of the fridge about an hour before serving; that brings out the flavour best.
  2. Only cut or break the cheese just before serving.

  4. Strain the mixture, divide it between four ovenproof ramekins and place them in an ovenproof dish with hot water.

After the meal

A cigar with Aberdour Piper 1L

Deze sigaar hebben wij uitgewerkt naast Clynelish, een andere whisky uit Schotland.

Cigars
Our choice

Juan López Selección No. 2

Cubaanse robusto van 124 mm, droog en kruidig, tegenover de peper in de afdronk.

Why this works together

Among the Cuban houses, Juan López is dry and spicy without the heavy earth of Bolívar or Partagás. A robusto of 124 mm holds that tone evenly. Alongside a malt that already has pepper in its own finish, what matters above all is that the salt and seaweed of Clynelish set something different against it; the same pepper twice without salt would turn flat.

Also good with this whisky

  • Vegas Robaina FamososRobusto van 124 mm met meer aarde, dichter bij de rooktoon in de whisky.
  • Partagás Serie D No. 5Petit robusto van 110 mm, zwaarder en korter, voor wie minder lang wil doorgaan.
  • E.P. Carrillo EncoreDominicaanse robusto met peper en cederhout, als tegenwicht tegen het zeewier.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
