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.

After the meal

A cigar with The Matsui Mizunara Cask

We worked out this cigar alongside The Hakushu Distillers Reserve Single Malt Japanse Whisky, another whisky from Japan.

Cigars
Our choice

Cohiba Exquisitos

Cubaanse panetela van 126 mm, smal en grasachtig, zodat de frisse tonen van Hakushu overeind blijven.

Why this works together

A 126 mm panetela is slim: little tobacco is involved at any one time, so the smoke stays thin and dry. Cohiba puts grass and wood underneath instead of earth. With a malt that draws its character from green, fresh notes, any wider size is too much; this one lets the grass in the glass and the grass in the tobacco stand side by side.

Also good with this whisky

  • La Gloria Cubana Medaille d’Or No. 4Panetela of 152 mm, longer but just as narrow in smoke.
  • Rafael González PerlasPetit corona van 102 mm, kort en mild, voor een klein moment.
  • H. Upmann Coronas JuniorPetit corona van 110 mm, droger en notiger, waardoor de honing opvalt.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
