After the meal

A cigar with AUCHENTOSHAN 29 Years old Vintage 1988 PX Sherry Cask Finish

Naar de naam heeft deze whisky in een sherry- of wijnvat gelegen. Deze sigaar hebben wij uitgewerkt naast Glenmorangie 12 Years Old The Lasanta Sherry Cask Finish, die dat ook heeft.

Cigars
Our choice

H. Upmann Magnum 46

A 143 mm Cuban corona gorda, dry and nutty, set against the toffee and raisin of the sherry finish.

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.

Also good with this whisky

  • Quai d’Orsay No. 50Petit robusto of 110 mm, shorter and more floral, for those who want to keep the whisky in the foreground.
  • Davidoff Winston Churchill The Late Hour RobustoRobusto van 127 mm met een zoetere houttoon die aansluit op de honing.
  • Romeo y Julieta Wide ChurchillKorte, dikke maat van 130 mm met meer body, als de rook duidelijker aanwezig mag zijn.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
