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 mealVenison steak with forest fruit sauce
Ingredients
- 4 venison steaks of 150 grams
- 200 grams forest fruits
- 100 millilitres red wine
- 100 millilitres game stock
- 30 grams butter
- 1 kilo potatoes
- 400 grams Brussels sprouts
Method
- Take the steaks out of the fridge half an hour before cooking and season them with salt and pepper.
- Peel the potatoes and boil them in salted water for about 20 minutes until tender.
- Trim the Brussels sprouts and boil them for 6 to 8 minutes until just tender.
- Fry the steaks in hot butter for 2 to 3 minutes per side and leave them to rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Deglaze the pan with the red wine and game stock, add the forest fruits and reduce to a glossy sauce.
- Slice the meat on the diagonal and serve with the sauce, the potatoes and the Brussels sprouts.
With the cheeseComté

A cigar with Wemyss The King
We have paired this cigar with Kilkerran 12 Year Old, another whisky from Scotland.
Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story
Short Dominican perfecto under a Cameroon wrapper; sweetish spice against the dry pepper of the malt.
Why this works together
The Short Story has a Cameroon wrapper, which gives a sweetish spiciness rather than sharp pepper. The dry pepper is therefore in the glass and not in the cigar, so the two complement each other instead of doubling the same note. The perfecto format tapers at both ends: the cigar smokes more concentrated at first and then opens up.
Also good with this whisky
- Arturo Fuente Hemingway SignatureThe same blend in a longer perfecto, for those sitting for more than half an hour.
- Oliva Serie GNicaraguan cigar, also with a Cameroon wrapper, medium in strength and widely available.
- Davidoff Nicaragua Short CoronaShort size with Nicaraguan tobacco; more peppery than the Fuentes and therefore the strongest of this line-up.
We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
