Why this works together

After the meal

A cigar with Johnnie Walker 18 Years Old

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

The No. 3 is a corona of 142 mm: the size in which Cuban tobacco turns out most balanced, not too narrow and not too wide. Montecristo gives cocoa with light pepper. A blend is by definition a middle way, and that does not call for a cigar at an extreme; the smoke in the whisky and the cocoa in the tobacco run level here.

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.
