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 mealSeared scallops with hazelnut butter
Ingredients
- 12 scallops
- 80 grams butter
- 40 grams hazelnuts
- 1 lemon
- 100 grams lamb's lettuce
- sea salt and pepper
Method
- Toast the hazelnuts golden brown in a dry frying pan, rub off the skins and chop them coarsely.
- Pat the scallops dry and season them with sea salt and pepper.
- Heat a dash of oil in a frying pan and fry the scallops golden brown for 1.5 to 2 minutes per side.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan until it smells nutty brown and add the hazelnuts and a dash of lemon juice.
- Divide the lamb's lettuce between the plates, place the scallops on top and spoon the hazelnut butter over them.
With the cheeseStilton

A cigar with The Ultimate Balmenach 2008 Cask Strength
We have paired this cigar with Highland Park 12 Years Old, another whisky from Scotland.
Cohiba Siglo IV
Cuban corona gorda of 143 mm, woody and grassy, which leaves room for the whisky at 40 per cent ABV.
Why this works together
A corona gorda of 143 mm is longer than a robusto and narrower than a pyramid: the smoke stays even and does not become heavier towards the end. Cohiba is grassy and woody rather than earthy. With a malt at 40 per cent ABV, that is the safest side: an earthy or peppery cigar would push the whisky into the background.
Also good with this whisky
- Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 1Corona gorda of 143 mm, milder and sweeter in the wood.
- Davidoff Winston Churchill The Late Hour RobustoRobusto of 127 mm, shorter and firmer, for those who want the smoke to be more present.
- Vegas Robaina FamososRobusto of 124 mm with more earth, if the bottle may stand alongside a heavier cigar.
