Whisky and Cigar Pairing

Due to popular demand, the [Cigar x Whiskey] event, which has returned with great success, will be added again on Saturday, 18/1. The fun last time taught us that tobacco and alcohol do have their own communication meaning. I am very happy that everyone is here to play with the well-known cigar influencer @ma9cigar and House Welley.

Traditionally, the two appear together from time to time, whether in TV and movie scenes, on the covers of fashion magazines, or in lifestyle books. Some of the flavors complement each other, and sometimes the contrast creates another experience.
Let us discuss whether 1+1 can add up to more than 2, and how to calculate this formula of cigarettes and wine.

And since you want to pair it with a cigar, the best wine is of course [Cigar Malt]. As the name suggests [Cigar Malt] is a single malt whiskey released by some wineries and even independent bottlers. It is said to be extremely suitable for pairing with tobacco. Just search on Google and you will find that the following 3 bottles are the most popular and the most talked about. They are:

– Dalmore【Cigar Malt】
– Tamdhu【Cigar Malt】
– And the last more limited edition and the most difficult to get Chieftain’s Speyside【Cigar Malt】

As for the cigars, ma9 selected the [2013 Montecristo Especial No.2] because the aroma and taste are relatively mild, but full of layers, and the small [Laguito No.2] Vitola, which is relatively concentrated. Presented in this way and aged for 12 years, we look forward to creating delicious sparks with whiskey in its peak state.

Which wine will become your favorite by then?
When choosing wine to pair with tobacco, what should you pay attention to?
In two weeks, ma9 and Vincent will dismantle it with you. If you are interested, please contact us via private message.
