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.

A cigar with The Kyoto Aka-Obi
Deze sigaar hebben wij uitgewerkt naast Nikka from the Barrel, een andere whisky uit Japan.
Oliva Serie V Melanio
Nicaraguaanse robusto van vol gewicht onder een Ecuadoraanse Sumatra-wikkel; donker en zoet van toon.
Why this works together
The Serie V Melanio is full, with pepper, cocoa and a dark woody note. The whisky can stand up to that strength, but 51.4% ABV is an axis of its own, apart from flavour: high alcohol makes the mouth sharp and makes the smoke taste flat afterwards. A few drops of water set that right without the whisky losing weight.
Also good with this whisky
- Oliva Serie VDezelfde lijn zonder de Sumatra-wikkel: droger en peperiger, en wat goedkoper te vinden.
- My Father Le Bijou 1922Vol en peperig; houdt stand tegen een whisky op vatsterkte.
- Plasencia Alma FuerteNicaraguaanse puro van vol gewicht met een aardse, houtige opbouw.
