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 Infrequent Flyers Auchroisk 2012 13Y

We have worked out this cigar alongside Craigellachie 13 Years Old Single Speyside Malt Whisky, another whisky from Scotland.

Cigars
Our choice

H. Upmann Connossieur No. 1

Cuban corona gorda of 143 mm, dry and woody, alongside the smoky undertone of the whisky.

Why this works together

The Connossieur No. 1 is a corona gorda of 143 mm: long enough to keep going at a relaxed pace, wide enough to keep its body. H. Upmann is by nature dry and woody rather than heavy. Alongside a malt that already has tobacco and smoke in its flavour, that dryness keeps the whole in balance; a sweeter cigar would drown out the fruit in the whisky.

Also good with this whisky

  • Montecristo No. 3Corona of 142 mm, slimmer and with more cocoa, which makes the mandarin in the whisky stand out.
  • Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 1Corona gorda of 143 mm with a sweeter wood note, closer to the cinnamon in the flavour.
  • Davidoff Millennium Blend RobustoRobusto of 127 mm, shorter and sturdier, for those who prefer a shorter smoke.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
