After the meal

A cigar with The Balvenie 18 Years Old Pedro Ximenez Cask

Naar de naam heeft deze whisky in een sherry- of wijnvat gelegen. Deze sigaar hebben wij uitgewerkt naast Aberlour 12 Years Old Non Chill-Filtered, die dat ook heeft.

Cigars
Our choice

Montecristo Edmundo

Cubaanse robusto extra van 135 mm met cacao en lichte peper, die parallel loopt aan de chocolade in de afdronk.

Why this works together

At 135 mm the Edmundo is shorter than a corona but clearly thicker, so the smoke comes in full without it taking long. Montecristo is known for cocoa and a light pepper. That cocoa lies close to the chocolate tone in the finish, while the pepper counterbalances the sherry sweetness. The 48 percent by volume keeps the whisky upright next to the weight of the cigar.

Also good with this whisky

  • H. Upmann Magnum 46Corona gorda van 143 mm, smaller en droger, waardoor het sherryzoet meer opvalt.
  • Ashton Aged Maduro No. 20Donkere broadleaf-wikkel met koffie en zoet hout, dicht bij de toon van het sherryvat.
  • Rocky Patel Vintage 1992Ecuadoraanse Sumatra-wikkel, lichter van kleur en droger, als tegenwicht tegen het zoet.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
