The combination

Why this works together

Swedish oak has a tighter grain than American oak and leaves spice and pepper rather than vanilla. The Late Hour Robusto is 127 mm long and works with a wrapper that gives sweet wood; the filler adds spiciness to that. That combination is close to what Swedish oak does in the whisky, while the 48.6 percent alcohol by volume keeps enough tension to stop it being uniform.

The cigar

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

  • Davidoff Nicaragua Robusto From the same house but with Nicaraguan tobacco: clearly more pepper.
  • Rocky Patel Vintage 1992 Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, drier and nuttier in tone.
  • AVO Syncro Nicaragua Robusto Robusto with tobacco from four countries, between the other three in weight.

In the glass

Serving

Neat in a tulip glass. At 48.6% ABV a few drops of water bring out the spiciness. Drink it in the pauses between puffs.
