Bottle of Amrut Fusion, whisky

From the shelf

The bottle

Amrut is a distillery in India. This single malt is bottled at 50 percent ABV. The finish is rich and refreshing, with spiciness and fruit that linger.

Amrut Fusion

The combination

Why this works together

At 114 mm, the Principe is the shortest size in Padrón's 1964 series. Nicaraguan tobacco from that line is dense and sweet with black pepper underneath, even in a small size. Whisky from a warm climate matures faster and comes in emphatically at 50 percent ABV; that calls not for a long, mild cigar but for a short one with weight. The spiciness in the finish and the pepper in the tobacco find each other.

Beside the glass

The cigar

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky. These cigars go well alongside this bottle.

This is what the size of the Padrón 1964 Anniversary Principe looks like: petit corona format, 114 mm, slim and straight, shorter than a regular corona. This is our own drawing in our house style, not a photo of the brand; we do not sell cigars.

  • Padrón 1964 Anniversary Principe Nicaraguan puro of 114 mm, short and dense, with enough weight alongside 50 percent by volume.
  • Oliva Serie V Double Robusto Robusto of 124 mm, longer and just as full, for those with more time.
  • Partagás Serie D No. 5 Cuban petit robusto of 110 mm, earthier than the Nicaraguans.
  • Hoyo de Monterrey Petit Robusto Petit robusto of 110 mm, milder, so that the fruit in the whisky gets more room.

In the glass

Serving

Neat in a tulip-shaped glass. At 50 percent ABV a few drops of water bring out the fruit. Drink each time after the smoke has left the mouth.
