Notsocleaver Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I've got a bit of Port Askaig 110 proof (think young cask strength Caol Ila if that helps) that I'd like to pair with a nice Cuban cuban. What would you reach for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodfortune Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I’d personally reach for something more towards the “full” side, to stand up to the boldness of the scotch. Maybe a Bolivar PC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichG Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I really like D4 and Monte 2 with Islay malts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanceSchmerr Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Party Presidentes or Lusi with an Ileach is always a winning combination. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you reach for? QD50 possibly. bread and orange would likely go well with lemon and kippers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notsocleaver Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 Oh, QdO, I like that line of thought 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jooners Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 R&J wide churchill may be quite good or a RASS. Cherry / fruit notes I think would go quite well with Islay malts. Oban Distillers Edition 2018 & a 10 year aged H.Upmann No.2 is a pairing I had recently and was next level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyh79 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I drink a lot of peated scotch. My experience is the stronger cigar the better. Boli PC, partagas shorts are two I smoke often. I feel like the flavors of a QDO are lost with scotch that flavorful. ‘I had some Lagavulin last night with an older RJ belicoso and the scotch was too much for the cigar.
