The Cigar Malt 15 Year Old - Chieftain's Ian MacLeod)
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.
