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 Cragganmore 12 Years Old Speyside

Deze sigaar hebben wij uitgewerkt naast Clynelish, een andere whisky uit Schotland.

Cigars
Our choice

Juan López Selección No. 2

Cubaanse robusto van 124 mm, droog en kruidig, tegenover de peper in de afdronk.

Why this works together

Among the Cuban houses, Juan López is dry and spicy without the heavy earth of Bolívar or Partagás. A robusto of 124 mm holds that tone evenly. Alongside a malt that already has pepper in its own finish, what matters above all is that the salt and seaweed of Clynelish set something different against it; the same pepper twice without salt would turn flat.

Also good with this whisky

  • Vegas Robaina FamososRobusto van 124 mm met meer aarde, dichter bij de rooktoon in de whisky.
  • Partagás Serie D No. 5Petit robusto van 110 mm, zwaarder en korter, voor wie minder lang wil doorgaan.
  • E.P. Carrillo EncoreDominicaanse robusto met peper en cederhout, als tegenwicht tegen het zeewier.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
