Whisky, smoky · Scotland · 54.9%

Why this works together

Chosen by type (whisky) and name (peat or smoke). A smoky whisky calls for dishes with a pronounced character of their own: smoked fish, something from the grill or a robust blue cheese.

After the meal

A cigar with Big Peat Christmas Edition 2013

Een rokerige whisky, zo zegt de naam. Deze sigaar hebben wij uitgewerkt naast Laphroaig Quarter Cask Islay Single Malt whisky, ook een rokerige whisky.

Cigars
Our choice

Cohiba Robustos

Cuban robusto of 124 mm, woody and grassy, which counterbalances the iodine of Laphroaig.

Why this works together

A 124 mm robusto gives a dense, even smoke. Cohiba sets itself apart from the other Cuban houses with a grassy, woody note instead of heavy earth. That difference is the point here: next to the iodine and salt of Laphroaig, an earthy cigar stays too much in the same place, while the wood of Cohiba clearly sets something against it.

Also good with this whisky

  • Hoyo de Monterrey Petit RobustoPetit robusto of 110 mm, milder and shorter, for those who want to keep the whisky in the lead.
  • Bolívar Petit CoronaPetit corona van 129 mm, smal en zwaar, waardoor de peper scherper binnenkomt.
  • Vegas Robaina FamososA 124 mm robusto with an earthier tone, closer to the smoke in the whisky itself.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
