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.

After the meal

A cigar with Belgian Owl Fifty Edition

Voor deze fles is nog geen eigen combinatie uitgewerkt. Deze sigaar hebben wij gekozen bij Mackmyra DNA Swedisch Single Malt Whisky.

Cigars
Our choice

Davidoff Winston Churchill The Late Hour Robusto

Dominican robusto of 127 mm with sweet wood and spiciness, alongside the spice from Swedish oak.

Why this works together

Swedish oak has a tighter grain than American oak and leaves spice and pepper rather than vanilla. The Late Hour Robusto is 127 mm long and works with a wrapper that gives sweet wood; the filler adds spiciness to that. That combination is close to what Swedish oak does in the whisky, while the 48.6 percent alcohol by volume keeps enough tension to stop it being uniform.

Also good with this whisky

  • Davidoff Nicaragua RobustoUit hetzelfde huis maar met Nicaraguaanse tabak: duidelijk meer peper.
  • Rocky Patel Vintage 1992Ecuadoraanse Sumatra-wikkel, droger en notiger van toon.
  • AVO Syncro Nicaragua RobustoRobusto with tobacco from four countries, in weight between the other three.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
