Whisky, smoky · Scotland · 40%

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 Bowmore Legend Islay Single Malt Whisky

A smoky whisky, as the name says. We have worked out this cigar alongside Talisker Whisky 10 Years Old, also a smoky whisky.

Cigars
Our choice

Bolívar Belicosos Finos

Full-bodied Cuban pyramid, earthy and spicy; pepper against the pepper of Skye.

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.

Also good with this whisky

  • Montecristo No. 2The best-known Cuban pyramid, medium to full; slightly rounder and so the calmer choice.
  • Partagás Serie P No. 2Full-bodied pyramid with the earthy house style of Partagás.
  • Romeo y Julieta BelicososSame format, woodier and more floral, giving the salt in the whisky more room.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
