After the meal

A cigar with Balcones Eclipse Texas Rye Cask Strength

Een Amerikaanse whiskey. Deze sigaar hebben wij uitgewerkt naast Wild Turkey 101 Proof Bourbon Kentucky Whiskey, ook uit Amerika.

Cigars
Our choice

My Father Le Bijou 1922 Petit Robusto

Nicaraguaanse petit robusto, kort en zwaar, die tegen 50,5 volumeprocent op kan.

Why this works together

Een petit robusto is kort en dik: veel rook in weinig tijd, waardoor de sigaar zijn volle toon meteen laat zien in plaats van geleidelijk op te bouwen. My Father werkt met Nicaraguaanse tabak en een donkere wikkel, wat zwarte peper en zoet hout geeft. Bij 50,5 volumeprocent heeft deze bourbon genoeg alcohol om die peper te beantwoorden; bij een lichtere fles zou dit te veel zijn.

Also good with this whisky

  • Oliva Serie V Double RobustoRobusto van 124 mm, even vol maar langer, voor wie meer tijd heeft.
  • Joya de Nicaragua Antaño 1970 Robusto GrandeNicaraguaans en nadrukkelijk peperig, in dezelfde orde van gewicht.
  • Rocky Patel Sungrown RobustoIets lichter van toon, waardoor de karamel in de bourbon meer ruimte krijgt.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
