What is needed
For 4 people
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 cheeseParmigiano Reggiano
Ingredients
- 160 grams of Parmigiano Reggiano
Method
- Take the cheese out of the fridge about an hour before serving; that brings out the flavour best.
- Only cut or break the cheese just before serving.

Ingredients
- 200 grams pitted dates
- 175 grams self-raising flour
- 150 grams dark soft brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 75 grams butter
- 200 millilitres whipping cream for the sauce
- 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.
- For the sauce, heat the cream with the brown sugar and simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring, until it thickens.

A cigar with Thalassa 5YO PX Cask
Judging by the name, this whisky has spent time in a sherry or wine cask. We worked out this cigar pairing for Glenfarclas 15 Years Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky, which has done so too.
Partagás Serie D No. 4
A full-bodied Cuban robusto, earthy and peppery; the sherry sweetness catches that pepper.
Why this works together
The Serie D No. 4 is one of the sturdier Cuban robustos, with earth, cocoa and clear pepper. That pepper needs sweetness so it does not turn dry, and here that sweetness comes from the sherry cask. The 46 percent by volume keeps the whisky from sinking beneath the smoke; at 40 it would.
Also good with this whisky
- Partagás Serie E No. 2Richer and longer from the same house, with the same spicy streak; for a longer session.
- Bolívar Royal CoronaOne of the more robust Cuban robustos, earthy and powerful enough to stand next to a sherry-rich malt.
- Ramón Allones Specially SelectedFull and dark-fruited; somewhat rounder than the Partagás and therefore closer to the cask.
We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
