Whisky, smoky · Scotland · 53.6%

Why this works together

Chosen by type (whisky) and name (peat or smoke). A smoky whisky calls for dishes with a pronounced character of their own: smoked fish, something from the grill or a robust blue cheese.

After the meal

A cigar with Big Peat The Winter Edition 2025

A smoky whisky, as the name says. We have worked out this cigar alongside Laphroaig 10 Years Old Sherry Oak Finish, also a smoky whisky.

Cigars
Our choice

Padrón 1964 Anniversary Exclusivo

Pressed Nicaraguan puro of full weight; pepper and cocoa against the peat.

Why this works together

A Nicaraguan puro of this weight brings pepper, earth and cocoa and so holds its own against the peat. The sherry finish makes the difference: without that sweet layer, two dry, smoky partners would make each other harsh. At 48 percent ABV the whisky does lead, so take the glass slowly.

Also good with this whisky

  • Padrón 1926 Serie No. 35From the same house and a notch fuller still; only if you dilute the whisky generously with water.
  • My Father Le Bijou 1922Full-bodied Nicaraguan cigar with a dark wrapper and lots of pepper.
  • Joya de Nicaragua Antaño 1970Classic heavy Nicaraguan, earthy and spicy; the driest of the four.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
