Why this works together

After the meal

A cigar with Gordon & MacPhail Discovery Range Auchroisk 10 Years Old

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

Cigars
Our choice

H. Upmann Half Corona

Cuban size of 90 mm, light to medium; finished in half an hour and so suitable for those who don't have an hour.

Why this works together

A half corona is short and not heavy, but it does bring the earthy note of Cuban tobacco. That earthiness plays off the salt in the whisky and brings the smoky note forward without inflating it. The cigar is too short to become heavy, and at 40 percent ABV the whisky brings no sharpness.

Also good with this whisky

  • Romeo y Julieta Petit CoronasShort Cuban with a woody, floral style that leaves room for the salt in the whisky.
  • Hoyo de Monterrey Petit RobustoThicker but just as short, with the lighter touch this house is known for.
  • Por Larrañaga Petit CoronasOne of the mildest Cuban sizes, pleasant if the tobacco is to stay in the background.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
