This Cigar Malt was specially selected by a panel in Glasgow, who chose from a shortlist of 10 incredible casks, selecting this as the best whisky which could both hold its own as a malt in its own right, and as a perfect accompaniment for a cigar. This was aged in a sherry butt number 3661, from an unnamed Speyside distillery. The result is rich plummy and is excellent when paired with a medium to full-bodied cigar.
Nutty and very rich with mixed conserves and custard, juniper berries, butterscotch and espresso coffee. Molasses, musty citrus and apple peels.
Marmalade, custard, dried fruits, custard, mixed fruit, sultanas, plum jam, wine, coffee.
Big and spicy, very long, and very rich finish with pepper and dark, stewed fruits.
I had a taste for something bold and deliciously smooth, this whisky delivered.
