Favorte Whiskey to go with a Cigar

[AspiringGent]

The Famous Grouse is my go to. Very smooth and relatively complex for such an inexpensive dram.
Check out the review I wrote on it a while back.

I am with you. Single malt beats the blends. Talisker is a favorite. Try 18 year Laphroaig, very similar. For a smoother single malt: 18 year Glenffidich.

When it comes to whisky, single malt is definitly the way to go. You should try the Glen Breton Rare 10yr old. It's the only single malt whiskey distillery in North America. Also a great one is Cragganmore 12 year. I had a Cragganmore on the weekend with a Hoyo de Monterrey (CC), and it was excellent!

I prefer the Single Malts also. Highland Park 18 or Clyenish 14 are my go to.

+1 on the Jameson, however, it is heresey to mix ANYTHING except spring water, or ice made from spring water with Jameson.

Oban ROCKS!! My firstborne almost got named for it...."hey Dad, where'd my name come from"...."Why son, you were named after a damn fine bottle of scotch!" Settled for Owen instead but keep going back for more Oban!

Buffalo Trace Single Barrel in Whisky, The Dalmore (single malt) in Scotch.

Jack is always good!

I know, I know, may the Irish Whiskey gods spare me with mercy. Buuuuuuttt, once you try it with club soda, you will be hooked because it is so goodjust had to dodge a lightning bolt.

Good glass of Crown goes well with just about any cigar!

There are one hell of a lot of Whiskeys and Bourbons that go very well with a cigar, and I have had many of them and a multiple number of times, however, my Go To, which never disappoints, is good old 100 proof Old Grandad!!!

For me, whisk(e)y has to have a lick of sweetness to go well with a cigar - thus I shy away from Cdn whiskies. The scotches I've paired need to have some sherry casking in them to pair well, but this means more expense (generally). My first choice all things being equal is bourbon. Have'nt looked at this closely as I usually use rum, but I have a bottle of Wild Turkey Rare Breed that I will try sometime soon.

Right now am using Whyte & MacKay 13yr Blended Scotch I got on offer. Has recieved a secondary maturation in sherry casks so has some sweetness but is fairly light - works well with mild cigars.
