Saltire Rare Malt, an independent Scotch whisky bottler based in Falkland, Fife, has launched Cigar Malt Edition 2, the second whisky in a series designed specifically to accompany a cigar.
It is a 15-year-old single malt from a single cask, distilled at Inchgower, a Speyside distillery near Buckie whose output mostly goes into blends, which makes single cask bottlings from it rare. The cask was selected by whisky experts Hans and Becky Offringa. The whisky is bottled at 48.8% ABV, and the edition numbers 298 bottles at £120, sold online by the bottler.
The official notes mention marmalade, stewed red apples, cherry tobacco, cloves, honeycomb and leather. The first Cigar Malt, an 18-year-old from Speyside Distillers, sold out quickly.
This whisky is not in our catalog, but you can discover the whisky selection at Mister Tabaco and cigars that suit such a glass.
