Why this works together

Chosen by type (whisky). Whisky goes with dishes that have their own character, with an aged cheese and, after the meal, with something with chocolate, caramel or nuts.

After the meal

A cigar with Cooper's Choice 15Y Williamson 2005 #800100

We have paired this cigar with Highland Park 12 Years Old, another whisky from Scotland.

Cigars
Our choice

Cohiba Siglo IV

Cuban corona gorda of 143 mm, woody and grassy, which leaves room for the whisky at 40 per cent ABV.

Why this works together

A corona gorda of 143 mm is longer than a robusto and narrower than a pyramid: the smoke stays even and does not become heavier towards the end. Cohiba is grassy and woody rather than earthy. With a malt at 40 per cent ABV, that is the safest side: an earthy or peppery cigar would push the whisky into the background.

Also good with this whisky

  • Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 1Corona gorda of 143 mm, milder and sweeter in the wood.
  • Davidoff Winston Churchill The Late Hour RobustoRobusto of 127 mm, shorter and firmer, for those who want the smoke to be more present.
  • Vegas Robaina FamososRobusto of 124 mm with more earth, if the bottle may stand alongside a heavier cigar.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
