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 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
- Peel the potatoes and boil them in salted water for about 20 minutes until tender.
- Score the skin of the duck breasts in a diamond pattern, season with salt and pepper and stone the cherries.
- Place the duck breasts skin side down in a cold pan and cook them for 8 to 10 minutes until the skin is crisp.
- Turn them over, cook them for 3 to 4 minutes for pink, and leave them to rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
- 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.
- Whisk the butter into the sauce, slice the duck breast and serve with the sauce and the potatoes.
With the cheeseComté
Ingredients
- 160 grams Comté

- sea salt
Method
- Preheat the oven to 170 °C.
- Mix the walnuts with the honey and spread them out on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

A cigar with Balblair 18 Years Old Single Malt Whiksy
We have worked out this cigar alongside Craigellachie 13 Years Old Single Speyside Malt Whisky, another whisky from Scotland.
H. Upmann Connossieur No. 1
Cuban corona gorda of 143 mm, dry and woody, alongside the smoky undertone of the whisky.
Why this works together
The Connossieur No. 1 is a corona gorda of 143 mm: long enough to keep going at a relaxed pace, wide enough to keep its body. H. Upmann is by nature dry and woody rather than heavy. Alongside a malt that already has tobacco and smoke in its flavour, that dryness keeps the whole in balance; a sweeter cigar would drown out the fruit in the whisky.
Also good with this whisky
- Montecristo No. 3Corona of 142 mm, slimmer and with more cocoa, which makes the mandarin in the whisky stand out.
- Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 1Corona gorda of 143 mm with a sweeter wood note, closer to the cinnamon in the flavour.
- Davidoff Millennium Blend RobustoRobusto of 127 mm, shorter and sturdier, for those who prefer a shorter smoke.
We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
