Whisky, smoky · Belgium

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 Brugse Whisky Peathia 1st Release

A smoky whisky, as the name says. We paired this cigar with Connemara 12 Years Old Peated Single Malt Irish Whiskey, also a smoky whisky.

Cigars
Our choice

Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2

Cuban robusto of moderate strength; earthy and lightly coffee-like, and light enough to stand next to peat.

Why this works together

Smoke next to smoke adds up, which is why this only works with a whisky whose peat is restrained. That is the case here, certainly at 40 percent by volume. The Epicure No. 2 brings an earthy, slightly coffee-like smoke that goes in a different direction from the sweetish peat, and the little pepper note in the finish returns in the wrapper.

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. 54A thick but smooth Cuban, woody and without sharp pepper.
  • Rafael González Petit CoronasMild en kort, voor wie de turf duidelijk voorop wil houden.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
