After the meal

A cigar with The Whistler Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish

By its name this whisky has lain in a sherry or wine cask. We have worked out this cigar alongside Millstone 12 Years Old Sherry Cask Zuidam Distillers, which has that too.

Our choice

Rocky Patel Vintage 1990

Honduran robusto under a dark Connecticut broadleaf wrapper; coffee and sweet wood alongside the sherry cask.

Why this works together

A dark broadleaf wrapper has fermented for longer and therefore gives coffee, earth and a sweet woody note sooner than pepper. That woody note lies close to what the sherry cask gives the whisky, so the two meet on the same note. The risk here is not a clash but sameness; the 46 percent ABV keeps enough tension to prevent that.

Also good with this whisky

  • Ashton Aged Maduro No. 20Dominican with the same broadleaf wrapper, slightly milder and smoother in smoke.
  • Oliva Serie O MaduroNicaraguan maduro, somewhat more peppery, which makes the whole less uniform.
  • Rocky Patel Vintage 1992From the same line but with an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper: lighter in colour and drier in tone.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
