A whisky matured in a sherry cask would be a harmonised combination with a nutty cigar. The unique maturing process would smooth out the spirit with a rounding and rich flavour, further granting the liquor fruity and nutty notes. We recommend Macallan 25 Years Old 1991 Davidoff of Geneva Exclusive (70cl, 53.5%). Infuse with classic Macallan characteristics and selected to pair with a cigar, the hallmark of Macallan excellence.
Open a luxurious bottle to elevate the rare Cuba adventure. The 3W Company 40 Years old Small Batch Private Label Blended Scotch Whisky (70cl, 47.8%) is the dream of whisky collectors. Produced in an exceptionally small batch, this limited blended scotch whisky delivers complex and intense flavours of dried fruits and sweet spices with a touch of buttercream. A lingering warm smoky finish of whisky would add depth to this perfect marriage.
Macallan Speymalt 32 Years Old 1973 GM (70cl, 40%) is a Scotland single malt whisky fully aged in the highest quality sherry casks. The whisky’s initial flavour of grapefruit, oranges, and sweetness would balance the spiciness of the cigar. The tasting experience is completed with the spice undertone you could quickly discover in both pairings.
