Whisky, smoky · Scotland · 40%

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 Finlaggan Original Islay Malt Whisky

Een rokerige whisky, zo zegt de naam. Deze sigaar hebben wij uitgewerkt naast Bruichladdich Port Charlotte 10 Years Old, ook een rokerige whisky.

Cigars
Our choice

Partagás Serie E No. 2

Cubaanse robusto extra van 140 mm, dik en aards, met genoeg body naast de turf van Islay.

Why this works together

The Serie E No. 2 is 140 mm long and strikingly thick. That width lets more tobacco take part at once, so the smoke arrives fuller than with a slim size. Partagás adds earth and pepper. Next to a malt in which peat is the main note, that combination ensures the cigar does not fade into the background.

Also good with this whisky

  • Juan López Selección No. 2Robusto van 124 mm, iets korter en droger van toon, waardoor het vat in de whisky meer ruimte krijgt.
  • Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de Río SecoEven dik en even lang, maar zoeter in het hout dan de Partagás.
  • Joya de Nicaragua Antaño 1970 Robusto GrandeNicaraguaans en peperig, een andere vorm van gewicht dan de aarde van de Cubanen.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
