After the meal

A cigar with Arran Port Cask

True to its name, this whisky has lain in a sherry or wine cask. We developed this cigar alongside Auchentoshan Three Wood, which has done the same.

Cigars
Our choice

Trinidad Reyes

Slanke Cubaanse petit corona van 110 mm; genoeg peper uit de wikkel om het sherryzoet werk te geven.

Why this works together

A slim cigar brings relatively a lot of wrapper compared with filler, and the pepper sits mostly in the wrapper. That pepper needs something to set itself against; here that is the sweetness from the two sherry casks. Because the malt is not peated, the tobacco remains the only source of smoke.

Also good with this whisky

  • Por Larrañaga PanetelasNog slanker en milder, voor wie het zoet van de whisky voorop wil laten lopen.
  • Romeo y Julieta No. 3Dunne Cubaan van gematigde sterkte, houtachtig en bloemig.
  • El Rey del Mundo Demi TasseDe kortste van de vier, mild en kruidig; geschikt als u maar een halfuur zit.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
