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 Glendalough Irish Whiskey Single Cask Calvados Finish

We have paired this cigar with Green Spot Irish Whiskey, another whisky from Ireland.

Cigars
Our choice

Ashton Classic Corona

Dominican tobacco under an American shade wrapper; the lightest line of the house and equally restrained throughout.

Why this works together

A Connecticut-type shade wrapper gives little pepper and mainly hay, nut and a lightly sweet wood note. That nuttiness runs in step with the nut in the whiskey, so the two slot into each other rather than clash. At 40 per cent ABV the alcohol stays in the background, so the cigar keeps its own flavour.

Also good with this whisky

  • Davidoff Grand Cru No. 3The same light class, with an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper and a slightly drier wood note.
  • Macanudo Café Hyde ParkMild and nutty, and widely available; a calm choice alongside a soft whiskey.
  • Arturo Fuente Chateau FuenteDominican under a Connecticut shade wrapper, slightly fuller but still without sharp pepper.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
