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
  • 4 sprigs of rosemary
  • 1 kilo potatoes
  • coarse sea salt and pepper

Method

  1. Take the meat out of the fridge an hour before cooking and brush it with 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.
  4. Meanwhile, fry the potato wedges in oil for 25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Leave the meat to rest for 10 minutes, carve it off the bone into slices and sprinkle with coarse sea salt and pepper.
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. Only cut or break the cheese just before serving.
Crème brûléeAfter the mealCrème brûlée

  • 6 egg yolks
  • 100 grams sugar
  • 1 vanilla pod
  • 4 tablespoons cane sugar for the crust

  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 Kilchoman Machir Bay Cask Strength 2025 Edition

We have paired this cigar with Bunnahabhain 12 Years Old, another whisky from Scotland.

Cigars
Our choice

Romeo y Julieta Short Churchill

Cuban robusto of 124 mm, medium in strength; woody and floral, with body from the filler.

Why this works together

A robusto is thick and has relatively a lot of filler; that gives body without the pepper of the wrapper taking the lead. Against that body you set cask rather than smoke here: the sherry note runs beneath the tobacco smoke instead of against it. At 46.3 per cent ABV the whisky has enough weight not to fade.

Also good with this whisky

  • Juan Lopez Selección No. 2Robusto of the same class, slightly spicier, and a calm partner for an unpeated malt.
  • H. Upmann Magnum 50Thicker and longer, with Upmann's restrained house style; for a longer sitting.
  • Vegas Robaina FamososCuban robusto with an earthy, mild build that leaves room for the sherry note.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
