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.

Ingredients

  • 1.2 kilos côte de boeuf
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  2. Sear the côte de boeuf in a smoking-hot pan or on the grill for 3 minutes per side.
  3. Cook it with the rosemary in an oven at 120 °C for about 40 minutes to a core temperature of 52 °C.

With the cheeseMature cheddar

Ingredients

  • 160 grams mature cheddar

Method

  1. Take the cheese out of the fridge about an hour before serving; that brings out the flavour best.

  2. Split the vanilla pod, scrape out the seeds and heat the cream with the pod and seeds until just below boiling.
  3. Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until pale and pour in the warm cream, stirring.
  4. Strain the mixture, divide it between four ovenproof ramekins and place them in an ovenproof dish with hot water.
  5. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the cream has just set but still wobbles slightly, leave to cool and chill for at least 4 hours.

After the meal

A cigar with Johnnie Walker Blue Label Elusive Umami

Deze sigaar hebben wij uitgewerkt naast Clynelish, een andere whisky uit Schotland.

Cigars
Our choice

Juan López Selección No. 2

Cubaanse robusto van 124 mm, droog en kruidig, tegenover de peper in de afdronk.

Why this works together

Among the Cuban houses, Juan López is dry and spicy without the heavy earth of Bolívar or Partagás. A robusto of 124 mm holds that tone evenly. Alongside a malt that already has pepper in its own finish, what matters above all is that the salt and seaweed of Clynelish set something different against it; the same pepper twice without salt would turn flat.

Also good with this whisky

  • Vegas Robaina FamososRobusto van 124 mm met meer aarde, dichter bij de rooktoon in de whisky.
  • Partagás Serie D No. 5Petit robusto van 110 mm, zwaarder en korter, voor wie minder lang wil doorgaan.
  • E.P. Carrillo EncoreDominicaanse robusto met peper en cederhout, als tegenwicht tegen het zeewier.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
