  3. Heat a dash of oil in a frying pan and fry the scallops golden brown for 1.5 to 2 minutes per side.

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.

  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 Signatory Vintage Cask Strength Collection 12Y Aberfeldy #5

We have worked out this cigar alongside Clynelish, another whisky from Scotland.

Cigars
Our choice

Juan López Selección No. 2

Cuban robusto of 124 mm, dry and spicy, set against the pepper in the finish.

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 FamososA 124 mm robusto with more earthiness, closer to the smoky note in the whisky.
  • Partagás Serie D No. 5Petit robusto van 110 mm, zwaarder en korter, voor wie minder lang wil doorgaan.
  • E.P. Carrillo EncoreDominican robusto with pepper and cedar, as a counterweight to the seaweed.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
