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
With the mealCôte de boeuf with coarse sea salt
Ingredients
- 1.2 kilos côte de boeuf
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 sprigs of rosemary
- 1 kilo potatoes
- coarse sea salt and pepper
Method
- Take the meat out of the fridge an hour before cooking and brush it with olive oil.
- Sear the côte de boeuf in a smoking-hot pan or on the grill for 3 minutes per side.
- Cook it with the rosemary in an oven at 120 °C for about 40 minutes to a core temperature of 52 °C.
- Meanwhile, fry the potato wedges in oil for 25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Leave the meat to rest for 10 minutes, carve it off the bone into slices and sprinkle with coarse sea salt and pepper.
With the cheeseStilton
Ingredients
- 160 grams Stilton
Method
- Take the cheese out of the fridge about an hour before serving; that brings out the flavour best.
- Only cut or break the cheese just before serving.
After the mealCrème brûlée
Ingredients
- 500 millilitres whipping cream
- 6 egg yolks
- 100 grams sugar
- 1 vanilla pod
- 4 tablespoons cane sugar for the crust
Method
- Preheat the oven to 150 °C.
- Split the vanilla pod, scrape out the seeds and heat the cream with the pod and seeds until just below boiling.
- Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until pale and pour in the warm cream, stirring.
- Strain the mixture, divide it between four ovenproof ramekins and place them in an ovenproof dish with hot water.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the cream has just set but still wobbles slightly, leave to cool and chill for at least 4 hours.
- Just before serving, sprinkle with cane sugar and caramelise with a blowtorch or under a hot grill.
To pour 4 cl per person

A cigar with Akkeshi Usui
We worked out this cigar alongside The Hakushu Distillers Reserve Single Malt Japanse Whisky, another whisky from Japan.
Cohiba Exquisitos
Cubaanse panetela van 126 mm, smal en grasachtig, zodat de frisse tonen van Hakushu overeind blijven.
Why this works together
A 126 mm panetela is slim: little tobacco is involved at any one time, so the smoke stays thin and dry. Cohiba puts grass and wood underneath instead of earth. With a malt that draws its character from green, fresh notes, any wider size is too much; this one lets the grass in the glass and the grass in the tobacco stand side by side.
Also good with this whisky
- La Gloria Cubana Medaille d’Or No. 4Panetela of 152 mm, longer but just as narrow in smoke.
- Rafael González PerlasPetit corona van 102 mm, kort en mild, voor een klein moment.
- H. Upmann Coronas JuniorPetit corona van 110 mm, droger en notiger, waardoor de honing opvalt.
We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
