Bottle of Glendronach 12 Years Old, whisky

From the shelf

The bottle

Glendronach lies in the Highlands. This twelve-year-old single malt matured in sherry casks and is bottled at 43% ABV. The colour is amber with red gold. The nose brings vanilla, ginger and spiced wine; on the palate it is silky smooth with sherry, raisins and spices.

The combination

Why this works together

A pyramid tapers towards the head. As a result the smoke arrives more concentrated than with a straight size, and the pepper of the wrapper becomes sharper. Montecristo puts cocoa underneath. Against a malt that draws its whole character from the sherry cask, that pepper is the counterweight and the cocoa the connection.

The cigar

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

This is the size of the Montecristo No. 2: pyramid format, 156 mm, wide at the foot and tapering to the head. This is a drawing of our own in our house style, not a photo of the brand; we do not sell cigars.

  • Montecristo No. 2 Cuban pyramid of 156 mm, cocoa and pepper, set against the raisin and spiciness from the sherry cask.
  • Romeo y Julieta Belicosos Pyramid of 140 mm, shorter and more floral, which gives the vanilla in the whisky more room.
  • Partagás Serie P No. 2 Pyramid of 156 mm with the earthy house style of Partagás, heavier in tone.
  • Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 1 Corona gorda of 143 mm without a tapered head, milder and calmer in character.

In the glass

Serving

Neat in a tulip-shaped glass. At 43 percent ABV water is not needed. Taste first without smoke, so that you can place the sherry on its own, and then drink in the pauses between the puffs.
