After the meal

A cigar with Great King's Glasgow Blend

Deze sigaar hebben wij uitgewerkt naast Springbank 10 Years Old, een andere whisky uit Schotland.

Cigars
Our choice

Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchill

Cubaanse maat van 130 mm, kort en breed, bloemig en houtig naast een malt met body.

Why this works together

The Wide Churchill is 130 mm long and strikingly broad. That proportion gives a full smoke in a short time, without turning sharp. Romeo y Julieta is floral and woody by nature, not earthy. Next to a Campbeltown malt at 46 percent ABV, that brings the wood from the cask forward instead of drowning it out.

Also good with this whisky

  • Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2Robusto van 127 mm, aards en iets zwaarder van toon.
  • Vegas Robaina FamososRobusto of 124 mm with more earthiness, for those who want to bring the cigar to the fore.
  • Oliva Serie V Double RobustoNicaraguan robusto with pepper instead of flowers, a clearly different direction.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
