Bottle of Springbank 10 Years Old, whisky

From the shelf

The bottle

Springbank is in Campbeltown, on the west coast of Scotland. This single malt is ten years old and is bottled at 46 percent abv. It is distilled two and a half times and matures in sixty percent bourbon casks and forty percent sherry casks.

Springbank 10 Years Old

The combination

Why this works together

The Wide Churchill is 130 mm long and strikingly broad. That proportion gives a full smoke in a short time, without turning sharp. Romeo y Julieta is floral and woody by nature, not earthy. Next to a Campbeltown malt at 46 percent ABV, that brings the wood from the cask forward instead of drowning it out.

The cigar

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

This is what the size of Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchill looks like: robusto extra format, 130 mm, as thick as a robusto and a good deal longer. This is a drawing of our own in our house style, not a photo of the brand; we do not sell cigars.

  • Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchill Cuban size of 130 mm, short and wide, floral and woody alongside a malt with body.
  • Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 Robusto of 127 mm, earthy and slightly heavier in tone.
  • Vegas Robaina Famosos Robusto of 124 mm with more earth, for those who want to bring the cigar to the fore.
  • Oliva Serie V Double Robusto Nicaraguan robusto with pepper instead of flowers, a clearly different direction.

In the glass

Serving

Neat in a tulip-shaped glass. At 46 percent ABV a few drops of water bring out the malt sweetness. Drink in the pauses between the puffs.
