Smoking kills. But does smoking kill the dram? Depends on who you’re asking. We don’t pair cigars with whisky a lot, but so now and then it’s something we do, especially when it pairs well. In the case of this Dalmore it does, the cigar and the dram enhance each other.

Ever smelled someone smoking a cigar at a coffee table? Well, now you’re imaging it: Bring in the Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve and a good cigar. This Dalmore is good without, but not thát good, and it wasn’t intended to go alone.
