American whiskey · United States · 52.6%

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 Valinch & Mallet The Spirit of Art - Guiliano Salo - Bardstown USA 3Y 2018 #3

An American whiskey. We worked out this cigar alongside Woodford Reserve, also from America.

Cigars
Our choice

Ashton VSG Robusto

A 137 mm Dominican robusto with a dark wrapper: sweet wood and coffee alongside the bourbon cask influence.

Why this works together

The VSG is a robusto of 137 mm under a dark Ecuadorian wrapper. That wrapper has fermented for longer and therefore gives sweet wood and coffee rather than pepper. Bourbon ages in new oak casks and gets its vanilla and caramel from them. Those two sweet wood notes end up in the same place; the spiciness in the whiskey keeps the whole from becoming too flat.

Also good with this whisky

  • Perdomo 10th Anniversary Champagne RobustoLighter wrapper, drier in tone, which brings out the grain in the whiskey.
  • Oliva Serie O RobustoNicaraguan robusto of 127 mm, more peppery and robust.
  • Rocky Patel Sungrown RobustoRobusto with a sun-grown wrapper, sitting between the other three in body.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
