After the meal

A cigar with Kavalan Moscatel Cask Solist

Deze sigaar hebben wij uitgewerkt naast Kavalan Single Malt, een andere whisky uit Taiwan.

Cigars
Our choice

Romeo y Julieta Petit Coronas

Cubaanse petit corona van 129 mm, bloemig en licht van gewicht, naast een fles van 40 volumeprocent.

Why this works together

A petit corona of 129 mm is slim and short. Romeo y Julieta is floral and woody by nature, without the heavy earth of Bolívar or Partagás. Whisky from a warm climate matures quickly and takes on a lot of cask, but at 40% ABV the alcohol weight stays low. A thick or long cigar would overpower it; this size stays alongside.

Also good with this whisky

  • H. Upmann Coronas JuniorPetit corona van 110 mm, korter en droger van toon.
  • Macanudo Café Hyde ParkDominicaanse robusto met hout en room, als de rook iets voller mag zijn.
  • Davidoff Millennium Blend RobustoRobusto of 127 mm with more pepper, for those who want to bring the cigar to the fore.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
