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 Glen Garioch 12Y

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

Cigars
Our choice

Davidoff Grand Cru No. 3

Corona of 127 mm under an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, even in strength from start to finish, so that the light Lowland malt does not fade.

Why this works together

A wrapper grown from Connecticut seed gives mainly wood and a soft creamy note, and little pepper. That note sits alongside the malty sweetness of the whisky rather than over it. Because the malt itself brings no smoke, the tobacco remains the only source of smoke.

Also good with this whisky

  • Ashton Classic CoronaDominican tobacco under an American shade wrapper, with the same low-pepper, nutty tone.
  • Macanudo Café Hyde ParkFor decades the benchmark for a mild Connecticut cigar: wood and cream, no sharpness.
  • AVO Classic No. 2Also Dominican under a Connecticut wrapper, slightly longer but just as restrained.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
