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
For 4 people
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 cheeseComté
Ingredients
- 160 grams Comté
Method
- Take the cheese out of the fridge about an hour before serving; that brings out the flavour best.

- 175 grams self-raising flour
- 150 grams dark soft brown sugar

- 200 millilitres whipping cream for the sauce
- 100 grams brown sugar for the sauce
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C and grease an ovenproof dish with butter.
- Chop the dates, pour boiling water over them, leave to soak for 10 minutes and mash them.
- 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.
- For the sauce, heat the cream with the brown sugar and simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring, until it thickens.
- Serve the pudding warm with the sauce poured over.

A cigar with W.D. O'Connell Tomásín 8Y
We have paired this cigar with Green Spot Irish Whiskey, another whisky from Ireland.
Ashton Classic Corona
Dominican tobacco under an American shade wrapper; the lightest line of the house and equally restrained throughout.
Why this works together
A Connecticut-type shade wrapper gives little pepper and mainly hay, nut and a lightly sweet wood note. That nuttiness runs in step with the nut in the whiskey, so the two slot into each other rather than clash. At 40 per cent ABV the alcohol stays in the background, so the cigar keeps its own flavour.
Also good with this whisky
- Davidoff Grand Cru No. 3The same light class, with an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper and a slightly drier wood note.
- Macanudo Café Hyde ParkMild and nutty, and widely available; a calm choice alongside a soft whiskey.
- Arturo Fuente Chateau FuenteDominican under a Connecticut shade wrapper, slightly fuller but still without sharp pepper.
We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
