What is needed

With the mealDuck breast with cherry sauce
Ingredients
- 2 duck breasts
- 300 grams cherries
- 100 millilitres red wine
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 20 grams butter
- 800 grams potatoes
Method
- Peel the potatoes and boil them in salted water for about 20 minutes until tender.
- Score the skin of the duck breasts in a diamond pattern, season with salt and pepper and stone the cherries.
- Place the duck breasts skin side down in a cold pan and cook them for 8 to 10 minutes until the skin is crisp.
- Turn them over, cook them for 3 to 4 minutes for pink, and leave them to rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Pour most of the fat out of the pan and cook the cherries with the red wine and the honey for 5 minutes to make a sauce.
- Whisk the butter into the sauce, slice the duck breast and serve with the sauce and the potatoes.
With the cheeseComté

- 100 grams brown sugar for the sauce
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C and grease an ovenproof dish with butter.
- Chop the dates, pour boiling water over them, leave to soak for 10 minutes and mash them.
- Beat the butter with the brown sugar until creamy, beat in the eggs and fold in the self-raising flour and the dates.
- Pour the batter into the dish and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.

A cigar with Thalassa 5YO Oloroso cask
As the name suggests, this whisky has lain in a sherry or wine cask. We have worked out this cigar alongside Glenmorangie 12 Years Old The Lasanta Sherry Cask Finish, which has done so too.
H. Upmann Magnum 46
A 143 mm Cuban corona gorda, dry and nutty, set against the toffee and raisin of the sherry finish.
Why this works together
The Magnum 46 is a corona gorda of 143 mm with a moderate thickness: long enough to carry on calmly, not so wide that the smoke becomes heavy. H. Upmann is dry and nutty by nature. Because the sherry finish here only colours the outside of the whisky and the core stays soft, a cigar that adds dryness suits better than one that is sweet itself.
Also good with this whisky
- Quai d’Orsay No. 50Petit robusto of 110 mm, shorter and more floral, for those who want to keep the whisky in the foreground.
- Davidoff Winston Churchill The Late Hour RobustoRobusto of 127 mm with a sweeter wood note that matches the honey.
- Romeo y Julieta Wide ChurchillShort, thick 130 mm size with more body, for when the smoke may be more noticeable.
We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
