Whisky, smoky · Scotland
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.

- 300 grams smoked eel
- 8 slices of rye bread
- 30 grams butter

Method
- Take the eel out of the fridge a quarter of an hour before serving, remove the skin and bones and divide it into pieces.
- Spread the slices of rye bread with butter and place the eel on top.
- Grate some horseradish over it, sprinkle with finely snipped chives and serve with lemon wedges.

A cigar with Elements of Islay Oc5
Een rokerige whisky, zo zegt de naam. Deze sigaar hebben wij uitgewerkt naast Ardbeg 10 Years Old, ook een rokerige whisky.
Bolívar Royal Corona
Cuban robusto of 124 mm, earthy and full-bodied, that holds its own next to the peat of Ardbeg.
Why this works together
A robusto of 124 mm is short and thick. The smoke comes through a generous opening and stays equally heavy from start to finish. Bolívar is the heaviest of the Cuban houses, with earth and black pepper. Against a malt that already brings smoke itself, that weight is needed; a lighter cigar would disappear under the peat.
Also good with this whisky
- Partagás Serie D No. 5Petit robusto of 110 mm with the same full house style, shorter and therefore finished sooner.
- Cohiba RobustosRobusto of 124 mm, woodier and less earthy, which gives the liquorice in the whisky more room.
- Oliva Serie V Double RobustoNicaraguaanse robusto met peper in plaats van aarde, die een andere kant op gaat dan de Cubanen.
We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
