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 Blacks Black Smoke

Een rokerige whisky, zo zegt de naam. Deze sigaar hebben wij uitgewerkt naast Connemara 12 Years Old Peated Single Malt Irish Whiskey, ook een rokerige whisky.

Cigars
Our choice

Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2

Cubaanse robusto van gematigde sterkte; aards en licht koffieachtig, en licht genoeg om naast turf te blijven staan.

Why this works together

Rook naast rook telt op, en daarom werkt dit alleen bij een whisky waarvan de turf terughoudend is. Dat is hier het geval, zeker op 40 volumeprocent. De Epicure No. 2 brengt een aardse, licht koffieachtige rook mee die een andere richting op gaat dan de zoetige turf, en het pepertje in de afdronk komt terug in de wikkel.

Also good with this whisky

  • Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 1Langer, zelfde huisstijl en dezelfde lichte hand; voor een zit van ruim een uur.
  • Quai d’Orsay No. 54Dikke maar zachte Cubaan, houtig en zonder scherpe peper.
  • Rafael González Petit CoronasMild en kort, voor wie de turf duidelijk voorop wil houden.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
