Bottle of Talisker Whisky 10 Years Old, whisky

From the shelf

The bottle

Talisker is the distillery on the Isle of Skye. This ten-year-old matured in oak casks and is bottled at 45.8 volume percent. The nose is seaweed, pepper and peat; on the palate, syrup and honey against chilli pepper and salt, with a long finish of fruit and peat.

The combination

Why this works together

A belicoso tapers towards the head, so the smoke comes through a narrower opening and arrives more concentrated. That makes the pepper of the wrapper sharper than with a straight size. Pepper alongside pepper could turn flat, but the salt and syrup in the whisky offer a counterpoint.

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 Bolívar Belicosos Finos looks like: pyramid format, wide at the foot and tapering narrowly to the head. This is our own drawing in our house style, not a photo of the brand; we do not sell cigars.

Mood image: a box of cigars. These are not the recommended cigars; the actual size is in the drawing alongside.
  • Bolívar Belicosos Finos Cuban pyramid of full weight, earthy and spicy; pepper against the pepper of Skye.
  • Montecristo No. 2 The best-known Cuban pyramid, medium to full; a little rounder and therefore the calmer choice.
  • Partagás Serie P No. 2 Full-bodied pyramid with the earthy house style of Partagás.
  • Romeo y Julieta Belicosos Same size, woodier and more floral, which gives the salt in the whisky more room.

In the glass

Serving

Neat in a tulip-shaped glass. At 45.8 percent ABV a few drops of water bring out the syrup, which helps against this cigar. Drink each time after the smoke has left the mouth.
