In the word of spirits, small batch and single
barrel Bourbons and single malt Scotches are super premium products that
have the complexity and depth of flavor to stand up to a cigar.
The smoky quality of a fine single malt, derived from the smoked peat used
to filter the spirit, marries perfectly with a good cigar.
The small batch Bourbons are bottled at a higher proof level, which gives
them a backbone of strong flavors, and they marry well with medium and full-bodied
cigars.
Kentucky straight Bourbons and Tennessee whisky, although often a bit lighter,
also mix well with cigars because of the charred wood flavors that turn
the liquors dark brown.
Aged rums, with their slightly sweet profile and burned molasses flavor,
can smooth out a cigar. |
