After the meal

A cigar with Finn Thomson Glen Garioch 2012 12 Years Old

We have worked out this cigar alongside Glen Scotia 12 Years Old, another whisky from Scotland.

Cigars
Our choice

Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de San Juan

Cuban size of 150 mm, mild and sweet in the wood, alongside the vanilla and cinnamon of Glen Scotia.

Why this works together

Le Hoyo de San Juan is 150 mm long and wide in ring gauge. Hoyo de Monterrey is the mildest of the great Cuban houses: sweet wood and cedar smoke instead of pepper. That sweet wood note ties in with the vanilla and cinnamon in the whisky, while the salt and citrus keep the whole from turning out too sweet.

Also good with this whisky

  • H. Upmann Magnum 50Same order of size, 160 mm, but drier and nuttier in tone.
  • Montecristo Double Edmundo155 mm with cocoa and pepper, as a counterweight to the sweetness.
  • Davidoff Nicaragua ToroA 152 mm toro with distinct pepper, a different direction from the Cubans.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
