After the meal

A cigar with Elements Of Islay Bourbon Cask

Een Amerikaanse whiskey. Deze sigaar hebben wij uitgewerkt naast Rittenhouse Straight Rye Bottled in Bond, ook uit Amerika.

Cigars
Our choice

Drew Estate Liga Privada No. 9 Robusto

Nicaraguaanse robusto van 127 mm, aards en peperig, tegenover de roggekruiden.

Why this works together

The Liga Privada No. 9 is a 127 mm robusto with a dark wrapper and a dense filler. The smoke is earthy and peppery and holds that weight to the end. Rye already gives pepper of its own, so this is pepper beside pepper; what keeps them apart is the fruit in this bottle, of which there is unusually much for a rye. Without that fruit the combination would turn flat.

Also good with this whisky

  • Oliva Serie V Double RobustoRobusto van 124 mm, even vol maar houtiger dan aards.
  • Rocky Patel Sungrown RobustoLichter van toon, waardoor de perzik en banaan meer ruimte krijgen.
  • Joya de Nicaragua Antaño 1970 Robusto GrandeNog nadrukkelijker peperig, voor wie het contrast niet zoekt maar de herhaling.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
