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.
Caramel, shortbread, biscuits, coffee and chocolates. Simple, clean and moreish.
Yet more toffee, caramel edging towards the burnt cinder-toffee side of things. Flamed orange-zest, and perfectly integrated sherry.
Reasonably simple, Christingles (orange Zest and clove with a touch of cinnamon), more mid-palate than palate-coating.
Definitely meets the criteria of pairing with a ‘BIG’ cigar.

This is an elegant whisky. I do not, and never have smoked; a fact which put me off buying this malt. A lover of Dalmore, I took the plunge and discovered one of my favourite drams. Ready to drink without water a sweet spiced toffee caramel ends with a lovely waft of smoke. On the nose it is like smelling warm toffee in a wood shop. Add water and the smokiness intensifies and the toffee becomes richer. A beautiful dram
Probably my favourite whisky, a smooth tasting whisky light in colour and not to harsh on the palate .
Just tried the 44% version. Not enough sherry - or kick for my liking! A reasonable whisky nonetheless! Ok, but seriously, if this is a 'Cigar Malt Blend'...bottle it at a G..D... Cigar Smokers Strength!; I.E. CASK STRENGTH!
Great present for my 50th in 2018, just finished the bottle and it matured nicely, great start to my collection
Goes incredibly good with a good cigar . Had some last week with a nice cigar????
