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.

What is needed

For 4 people

Duck breast with cherry sauceWith the mealDuck breast with cherry sauce

Ingredients

  • 2 duck breasts
  • 300 grams cherries
  • 100 millilitres red wine
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 20 grams butter
  • 800 grams potatoes

Method

  1. Peel the potatoes and boil them in salted water for about 20 minutes until tender.
  2. Score the skin of the duck breasts in a diamond pattern, season with salt and pepper and stone the cherries.
  3. Place the duck breasts skin side down in a cold pan and cook them for 8 to 10 minutes until the skin is crisp.
  4. Turn them over, cook them for 3 to 4 minutes for pink, and leave them to rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
  5. Pour most of the fat out of the pan and cook the cherries with the red wine and the honey for 5 minutes to make a sauce.
  6. Whisk the butter into the sauce, slice the duck breast and serve with the sauce and the potatoes.
ComtéWith the cheeseComté

Ingredients

  • 160 grams Comté

Method

  1. Take the cheese out of the fridge about an hour before serving; that brings out the flavour best.
  2. Only cut or break the cheese just before serving.

  4. Strain the mixture, divide it between four ovenproof ramekins and place them in an ovenproof dish with hot water.

After the meal

A cigar with Càrn Mòr Celebration Of The Cask 25Y Benrinnes 1996 #962101

We have paired this cigar with Highland Park 12 Years Old, another whisky from Scotland.

Cigars
Our choice

Cohiba Siglo IV

Cuban corona gorda of 143 mm, woody and grassy, which leaves room for the whisky at 40 per cent ABV.

Why this works together

A corona gorda of 143 mm is longer than a robusto and narrower than a pyramid: the smoke stays even and does not become heavier towards the end. Cohiba is grassy and woody rather than earthy. With a malt at 40 per cent ABV, that is the safest side: an earthy or peppery cigar would push the whisky into the background.

Also good with this whisky

  • Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 1Corona gorda of 143 mm, milder and sweeter in the wood.
  • Davidoff Winston Churchill The Late Hour RobustoRobusto of 127 mm, shorter and firmer, for those who want the smoke to be more present.
  • Vegas Robaina FamososRobusto of 124 mm with more earth, if the bottle may stand alongside a heavier cigar.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
