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.

After the meal

A cigar with Gordon & MacPhail Connoisseurs Choice Linkwood 2009 #22605908

Deze sigaar hebben wij uitgewerkt naast Johnnie Walker 12 Years Old Black Label, een andere whisky uit Schotland.

Cigars
Our choice

Montecristo No. 3

Cubaanse corona van 142 mm, cacao en lichte peper, gelijk in gewicht met een blend van 40 volumeprocent.

Why this works together

De No. 3 is een corona van 142 mm: de maat waar Cubaanse tabak het meest in balans uitpakt, niet te smal en niet te breed. Montecristo geeft cacao met lichte peper. Een blend is per definitie een middenweg, en die vraagt geen sigaar die in een uiterste zit; de rook in de whisky en de cacao in de tabak lopen hier gelijk op.

Also good with this whisky

  • H. Upmann Coronas JuniorPetit corona van 110 mm, korter en droger, voor een kort moment.
  • Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2Robusto van 127 mm, aards en iets zwaarder, als de rook voorop mag staan.
  • Macanudo Café Hyde ParkDominican robusto under a Connecticut wrapper: wood and cream, without sharpness.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
