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 cheeseAged Gouda
Ingredients
- 160 grams aged Gouda
Method
- Take the cheese out of the fridge about an hour before serving; that brings out the flavour best.
- Only cut or break the cheese just before serving.
After the mealCrème brûlée
Ingredients
- 500 millilitres whipping cream
- 6 egg yolks
- 100 grams sugar
- 1 vanilla pod
- 4 tablespoons cane sugar for the crust
Method
- Preheat the oven to 150 °C.
- Split the vanilla pod, scrape out the seeds and heat the cream with the pod and seeds until just below boiling.
- Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until pale and pour in the warm cream, stirring.
- Strain the mixture, divide it between four ovenproof ramekins and place them in an ovenproof dish with hot water.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the cream has just set but still wobbles slightly, leave to cool and chill for at least 4 hours.
- Just before serving, sprinkle with cane sugar and caramelise with a blowtorch or under a hot grill.

A cigar with Yamazakura Blended Whisky
We worked out this cigar alongside The Hakushu Distillers Reserve Single Malt Japanse Whisky, another whisky from Japan.
Cohiba Exquisitos
Cubaanse panetela van 126 mm, smal en grasachtig, zodat de frisse tonen van Hakushu overeind blijven.
Why this works together
A 126 mm panetela is slim: little tobacco is involved at any one time, so the smoke stays thin and dry. Cohiba puts grass and wood underneath instead of earth. With a malt that draws its character from green, fresh notes, any wider size is too much; this one lets the grass in the glass and the grass in the tobacco stand side by side.
Also good with this whisky
- La Gloria Cubana Medaille d’Or No. 4Panetela of 152 mm, longer but just as narrow in smoke.
- Rafael González PerlasPetit corona van 102 mm, kort en mild, voor een klein moment.
- H. Upmann Coronas JuniorPetit corona van 110 mm, droger en notiger, waardoor de honing opvalt.
