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 Douglas Laing Double Barrel Islay / Highland

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

Cubaanse robusto van 124 mm, houtig en grasachtig, die het jodium van Laphroaig tegenwicht geeft.

Why this works together

Een robusto van 124 mm geeft een dichte, gelijkmatige rook. Cohiba onderscheidt zich van de andere Cubaanse huizen door een grasachtige, houtige toon in plaats van zware aarde. Dat verschil is hier het punt: naast het jodium en zout van Laphroaig blijft een aardse sigaar te veel op dezelfde plek staan, terwijl het hout van Cohiba er duidelijk iets tegenover zet.

Also good with this whisky

  • Hoyo de Monterrey Petit RobustoPetit robusto van 110 mm, milder en korter, voor wie de whisky voorop wil houden.
  • Bolívar Petit CoronaPetit corona van 129 mm, smal en zwaar, waardoor de peper scherper binnenkomt.
  • Vegas Robaina FamososRobusto van 124 mm met een aardere toon, dichter bij de rook in de whisky zelf.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
