After the meal

A cigar with WEST CORK Bourbon Cask

Een Amerikaanse whiskey. Deze sigaar hebben wij uitgewerkt naast Woodford Reserve, ook uit Amerika.

Our choice

Ashton VSG Robusto

Dominicaanse robusto van 137 mm met een donkere wikkel: zoet hout en koffie naast het vatwerk van bourbon.

Why this works together

The VSG is a robusto of 137 mm under a dark Ecuadorian wrapper. That wrapper has fermented for longer and therefore gives sweet wood and coffee rather than pepper. Bourbon ages in new oak casks and gets its vanilla and caramel from them. Those two sweet wood notes end up in the same place; the spiciness in the whiskey keeps the whole from becoming too flat.

Also good with this whisky

  • Perdomo 10th Anniversary Champagne RobustoLighter wrapper, drier in tone, which brings out the grain in the whiskey.
  • Oliva Serie O RobustoNicaraguaanse robusto van 127 mm, peperiger en steviger.
  • Rocky Patel Sungrown RobustoRobusto met een zongerijpte wikkel, tussen de andere drie in van gewicht.
