This edition of the Mild was chosen from a selection of over 10 different single cask Cigar Malts for its light and mellow character, an ideal companion to be sipped and enjoyed at home or with friends with a mild cigar.
Jens Tausch, Consultant, European Cigar Journal, Germany: "If you need relaxation in the early afternoon, you will be pleased by this smooth version of cigar malt. It comes along with flavours of Butterscotch, stud food and subtle oaky notes. The taste of malty sweetness with decent notes of burned sugar is a perfect occasion for a Dunhill Aged Caleta. Another perfect combination would be a mild to medium Honduran cigar (Camacho Criollo Robusto)".
Regis Lemaitre, Spirits Expert, RegisWhiskyMad: "Nose Prickling, Caramel, Floral Sweetness, stewed apples on the nose; The taste is oily, sweeter and sour mix. When diluted Christmas cake fruitiness, dried fruit, oily sweetness with dry warm and big timber lasting notes on the finish. My recommendation would be to half your whisky into 2 glasses. The first glass, I would suggest you add a few drops of water to it and consume it as you light your cigar up. The second should be consumed undiluted now that your Cigar smoke, heat and intensity increase. Thus matching a more robust experience in both cigar and whisky! My Cigar recommendation is "RAMON ALLONES full Flavour Robusto-sized".
Rob Allanson, Editor of the Whisky and Cigar Magazines’: "Nose: green bananas, butterscotch, coconut with a light oak note there too. Sweetcorn and butter. A touch of water opens the nose up perfectly. Palate: Citrus, orange and creamy with plenty of grip from the oak. Cigar: Hoyo de Monterry Epicure No2".
Antony McCallum, Rare Malt Manager, Ian Macleod Distillers: "An extremely aromatic fresh nose of cooked apples and lemongrass which follows through on the palate with citrus fruit, floral sweetness and oakyness. Very creamy, slightly dry on the finish with some peach stone aftertaste."
