What to pour with Antaño
We found no drink pairings from Joya de Nicaragua. Our house suggestion from the bar, as on our Joya page: a barrel-proof bourbon or a rye. Our cigar and whiskey pairing guide keeps the house rule of matching body first. In the lounge, ask the bar for a pour from the spirits menu.
