After the meal

A cigar with Hatozaki Pure Malt

Deze sigaar hebben wij uitgewerkt naast Nikka from the Barrel, een andere whisky uit Japan.

Cigars
Our choice

Oliva Serie V Melanio

Nicaraguaanse robusto van vol gewicht onder een Ecuadoraanse Sumatra-wikkel; donker en zoet van toon.

Why this works together

The Serie V Melanio is full, with pepper, cocoa and a dark woody note. The whisky can stand up to that strength, but 51.4% ABV is an axis of its own, apart from flavour: high alcohol makes the mouth sharp and makes the smoke taste flat afterwards. A few drops of water set that right without the whisky losing weight.

Also good with this whisky

  • Oliva Serie VDezelfde lijn zonder de Sumatra-wikkel: droger en peperiger, en wat goedkoper te vinden.
  • My Father Le Bijou 1922Vol en peperig; houdt stand tegen een whisky op vatsterkte.
  • Plasencia Alma FuerteNicaraguaanse puro van vol gewicht met een aardse, houtige opbouw.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
