Perfect Start: Jim Beam Signature Craft
Jim Beam can also be different. The aromas of roasted nuts, oak, prunes and sponge cake give you a taste for more. The light fruitiness with a touch of burnt almonds is the perfect accompaniment to a Davidoff Miniature Gold Edition.

Relaunched: James E. Pepper 1776 Rye
America’s oldest whiskey brand has been relaunched and stands out with a great representative of the rye category. Overall, this suggests more an aperitif for the early evening, but in combination with an Oliva G Perfecto, there is no objection to brunch, either.

Complexity and Aroma: Gran Duque d’Alba Oro
Incredibly dense in aromas – oak, vanilla pod, dark chocolate, raisins – the complexity and aroma are apparent in the very first mouthful. The tangy-sweet texture of an Aurora 100 Anos Edición Especial brings out the fruity sweetness of the brandy and ensures a sated feeling in the mouth.

Spicy sweet: Rum Company 15
Wonderful notes of walnut with fruity notes and subtle salty tones first rise from the glass. Combined with a Juan Lopez Seleccion No. 2, astonishing notes of orange peel and bergamot can be detected. With an Ashton VSG Belicoso one immediately thinks of cream caramel.

For the Afternoon: Valedor Coffee Spirit
Spirit of coffee with a rum base – the rum serves magnificently to enhance the classic coffee aromas. With its cookie-like notes of Speculoos biscuits, caramel and some nutmeg, the spirit interplays ideally with a Cedros Deluxe by My Father.
