After the meal

A cigar with Akashi Blended Sherry Cask Strength

Naar de naam heeft deze whisky in een sherry- of wijnvat gelegen. Deze sigaar hebben wij uitgewerkt naast The Balvenie 12 Years Old Doublewood, die dat ook heeft.

Cigars
Our choice

Montecristo No. 4

Cubaanse petit corona van 129 mm, midden in sterkte; voor veel rokers de maatstaf van dit formaat.

Why this works together

The No. 4 sits in the middle of the strength range and brings cocoa, wood and a light pepper. The cinnamon and nut from the second cask run parallel to that, while the sweetness from that same cask catches the pepper of the wrapper. At 40 percent ABV the alcohol does not push, so the cigar stays in charge.

Also good with this whisky

  • Romeo y Julieta No. 2Vergelijkbaar formaat en gewicht, met een bloemiger inslag naast het sherryzoet.
  • H. Upmann Magnum 46Iets dikker en daardoor ronder van rook, met dezelfde ingehouden huisstijl.
  • Juan Lopez Selección No. 2Robusto van gematigde sterkte, voor wie langer wil zitten zonder naar een volle sigaar te gaan.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
