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 Glengoyne 17Y Scottish Oak

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

Cigars
Our choice

Romeo y Julieta Short Churchill

Cuban robusto of 124 mm, medium in strength; woody and floral, with body from the filler.

Why this works together

A robusto is thick and has relatively a lot of filler; that gives body without the pepper of the wrapper taking the lead. Against that body you set cask rather than smoke here: the sherry note runs beneath the tobacco smoke instead of against it. At 46.3 per cent ABV the whisky has enough weight not to fade.

Also good with this whisky

  • Juan Lopez Selección No. 2Robusto of the same class, slightly spicier, and a calm partner for an unpeated malt.
  • H. Upmann Magnum 50Thicker and longer, with Upmann's restrained house style; for a longer sitting.
  • Vegas Robaina FamososCuban robusto with an earthy, mild build that leaves room for the sherry note.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
