From the shelf

The bottle

Glenmorangie is in the Highlands. This bottling is twelve years old, received a finish in sherry casks and is at 43 percent by volume. The nose brings toffee, ginger and raisins; on the palate honey, warm spices, oranges, currants and raisins, with a long, soft finish.

Glenmorangie 12 Years Old The Lasanta Sherry Cask Finish

The combination

Why this works together

The Magnum 46 is a corona gorda of 143 mm with a moderate thickness: long enough to carry on calmly, not so wide that the smoke becomes heavy. H. Upmann is dry and nutty by nature. Because the sherry finish here only colours the outside of the whisky and the core stays soft, a cigar that adds dryness suits better than one that is sweet itself.

The cigar

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

This is what the size of H. Upmann Magnum 46 looks like: corona gorda format, 143 mm, straight, a notch thicker and longer than a corona. This is a drawing of our own in our house style, not a photo of the brand; we do not sell cigars.
Dried tobacco leaves up close

  • H. Upmann Magnum 46 Cuban corona gorda of 143 mm, dry and nutty, set against the toffee and raisin of the sherry finish.
  • Quai d’Orsay No. 50 Petit robusto of 110 mm, shorter and more floral, for those who want to keep the whisky in front.
  • Davidoff Winston Churchill The Late Hour Robusto Robusto of 127 mm with a sweeter woody note that matches the honey.
  • Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchill Short, thick size of 130 mm with more body, for when the smoke may be more noticeable.

In the glass

Serving

Neat in a tulip-shaped glass. At 43 percent by volume water is usually not needed. Drink in the pauses between puffs, not during them.
