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.
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 cheeseAged Gouda

- 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 The Kyoto Kuro-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.
