Whisky, smoky · Scotland · 61.5%

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 Caol Ila Islay Single Malt 15 Years Old Unpeated

A smoky whisky, as the name says. We developed this cigar alongside Ardbeg 10 Years Old, also a smoky whisky.

Our choice

Bolívar Royal Corona

Cuban robusto of 124 mm, earthy and full-bodied, that holds its own next to the peat of Ardbeg.

Why this works together

A robusto of 124 mm is short and thick. The smoke comes through a generous opening and stays equally heavy from start to finish. Bolívar is the heaviest of the Cuban houses, with earth and black pepper. Against a malt that already brings smoke itself, that weight is needed; a lighter cigar would disappear under the peat.

Also good with this whisky

  • Partagás Serie D No. 5Petit robusto of 110 mm with the same full house style, shorter and therefore finished sooner.
  • Cohiba RobustosRobusto of 124 mm, woodier and less earthy, which gives the liquorice in the whisky more room.
  • Oliva Serie V Double RobustoNicaraguan robusto with pepper instead of earth, which goes in a different direction from the Cubans.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
