Why this works together

Chosen on the basis of the type (whisky) and the country of origin (United States). Bourbon and other American whiskey often have notes of vanilla and caramel from the oak; that suits barbecue and desserts with nuts and caramel.

After the meal

A cigar with Legent Bourbon

An American whiskey. We have worked out this cigar alongside Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, also from America.

Cigars
Our choice

Rocky Patel Decade Robusto

Honduran robusto of 127 mm with a dark wrapper: pepper and earth alongside molasses and aniseed.

Why this works together

The Decade is a 127 mm robusto under a dark wrapper from Ecuador. It gives black pepper and earth on top of a sweet core. Bourbon at 40 percent ABV is softer than most malts and would vanish under a truly heavy cigar, but the molasses and dark fruit here are emphatic enough to carry the pepper. The aniseed in the finish is what keeps the two apart.

Also good with this whisky

  • Oliva Serie O RobustoNicaraguan robusto of 127 mm, slightly drier and woodier.
  • Joya de Nicaragua Antaño 1970 Robusto GrandeHeavier and more peppery, for those who want the cigar to lead.
  • Ashton Aged Maduro No. 20Dark broadleaf wrapper with coffee and sweet wood, closer to the cask influence of the bourbon.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
