Cigar Malt Whisky
Customer Rating
“Touch of the Islay's about it...sweet, tangy and tart, but with a underlying gentle Highlands taste.Exceptionally smooth, so there is quality distillation happening here and careful ageing in good casks. Overtly coloured, but this is probably how the punters [read: smokers] like it - strong, dark, flavourful and smoky. At 44% ALC/VOL, with its inherent provenance securely intact, water or ice added only detracts from the magnificent pleasure of letting this Whisky sit for at least 15 minutes to open up and enjoy neat in its intended form. ”

Description
Dalmore Cigar Malt was discontinued in mid-2009, causing quite an uproar indeed. The whiskies used for the reworked version were actually slightly older, but naturally still pair perfectly with a cigar.
It's a great whisky, whether you drink with its intended purpose in mind or not. And if you do enjoy cigars, you'll want to know that the stick that provided the flavour benchmark for pairing is the hefty Partagas Serie D No. 4.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Caramel, shortbread, biscuits, coffee and chocolates. Simple, clean and moreish.
Palate
Yet more toffee, caramel edging towards the burnt cinder-toffee side of things. Flamed orange-zest, and perfectly integrated sherry.
Finish
Reasonably simple, Christingles (orange Zest and clove with a touch of cinnamon), more mid-palate than palate-coating.
Overall
Definitely meets the criteria of pairing with a ‘BIG’ cigar.
