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 Togouchi Premium

We paired this cigar with Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt, another whisky from Japan.

Cigars
Our choice

Cohiba Siglo II

Cubaanse petit corona van 129 mm, licht en houtig naast de lichte turftoon van Taketsuru.

Why this works together

A petit corona of 129 mm is narrow and short: little tobacco comes along at once, so the smoke stays light. Cohiba is grassy and woody, with hardly any earth. This whisky already has a light peat and smoke note of its own; a heavy cigar would pile on top of that and push out the fruit. At this size, the lemon and pear in the nose stay upright.

Also good with this whisky

  • Trinidad VigíaKorte, dikke maat van 110 mm, voller van rook maar snel klaar.
  • H. Upmann Coronas JuniorPetit corona van 110 mm, droger van toon, waardoor de kardemom opvalt.
  • Montecristo Petit EdmundoPetit robusto van 110 mm met cacao, dicht bij de donkere chocolade in de afdronk.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
