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 Cragganmore 25 Years Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky

We have worked out this cigar alongside Monkey Shoulder, another whisky from Scotland.

Cigars
Our choice

Davidoff Signature 2000

Dominican corona of 127 mm under a Connecticut wrapper, light in weight and low in pepper.

Why this works together

The Signature 2000 is 127 mm long and slim in ring gauge. Under a Connecticut wrapper, that size gives wood and cream and hardly any pepper. With a blended malt of 40 percent ABV, that is the right order of magnitude: the caramel in the whisky and the cream in the tobacco lie close together, without either one taking over.

Also good with this whisky

  • Macanudo Café Hyde ParkRobusto with the same mild wrapper, slightly thicker and so fuller in smoke.
  • AVO Classic No. 2Dominican under a Connecticut wrapper, longer but just as restrained.
  • H. Upmann Coronas JuniorCuban petit corona of 110 mm, drier in tone, as a counterweight to the caramel.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
