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
With the mealBarbecued spare ribs
Ingredients
- 2 kilos spare ribs
- 6 tablespoons barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 cloves garlic
- 4 corn cobs
Method
- Preheat the oven to 150 °C.
- Rub the spare ribs with the paprika, salt and pepper, wrap them in aluminium foil and cook them in the oven for 2 to 2.5 hours.
- Mix the barbecue sauce with the honey and the crushed garlic.
- Boil the corn cobs for 10 minutes in salted water.
- Grill the spare ribs and the corn for 10 minutes on the hot barbecue, brushing the ribs regularly with the sauce until they shine.
With the cheeseMature cheddar
Ingredients
- 160 grams mature cheddar
Method
- Take the cheese out of the fridge about an hour before serving; that brings out the flavour best.
- Only cut or break the cheese just before serving.
After the mealCrème brûlée
Ingredients
- 500 millilitres whipping cream
- 6 egg yolks
- 100 grams sugar
- 1 vanilla pod
- 4 tablespoons cane sugar for the crust
Method
- Preheat the oven to 150 °C.
- Split the vanilla pod, scrape out the seeds and heat the cream with the pod and seeds until just below boiling.
- Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until pale and pour in the warm cream, stirring.
- Strain the mixture, divide it between four ovenproof ramekins and place them in an ovenproof dish with hot water.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the cream has just set but still wobbles slightly, leave to cool and chill for at least 4 hours.
- Just before serving, sprinkle with cane sugar and caramelise with a blowtorch or under a hot grill.

A cigar with Elixir Distillers Ben Nevis 2012
We have worked out this cigar alongside Monkey Shoulder, another whisky from Scotland.
Davidoff Signature 2000
Dominican corona of 127 mm under a Connecticut wrapper, light in weight and low in pepper.
Why this works together
The Signature 2000 is 127 mm long and slim in ring gauge. Under a Connecticut wrapper, that size gives wood and cream and hardly any pepper. With a blended malt of 40 percent ABV, that is the right order of magnitude: the caramel in the whisky and the cream in the tobacco lie close together, without either one taking over.
Also good with this whisky
- Macanudo Café Hyde ParkRobusto with the same mild wrapper, slightly thicker and so fuller in smoke.
- AVO Classic No. 2Dominican under a Connecticut wrapper, longer but just as restrained.
- H. Upmann Coronas JuniorCuban petit corona of 110 mm, drier in tone, as a counterweight to the caramel.
We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
