Why this works together

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 INVERLEVEN 1990 15 Y

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

De Wide Churchill is 130 mm lang en opvallend breed. Die verhouding geeft een volle rook binnen een kort tijdsbestek, zonder dat het scherp wordt. Romeo y Julieta is bloemig en houtig van huis uit, niet aards. Naast een Campbeltown-malt op 46 volumeprocent zet dat het hout uit het vat naar voren in plaats van het te overstemmen.

Also good with this whisky

  • Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2Robusto van 127 mm, aards en iets zwaarder van toon.
  • Vegas Robaina FamososRobusto van 124 mm met meer aarde, voor wie de sigaar naar voren wil halen.
  • Oliva Serie V Double RobustoNicaraguaanse robusto met peper in plaats van bloemen, een duidelijk andere richting.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
