After the meal

A cigar with Filliers Single Rye Whisky 8 Years Old

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

Nicaraguan robusto of 127 mm, earthy and peppery, set against the rye spices.

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.
