Tobacco?

You might want to look into the Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve.

I read somewhere that a cigar goes well with hevaly sherryed whiskys or full body bourbons. What you probably want are whiskys that are stong enough in flavour to not get overpower by the cigar.

There was an American micro-distiller that made a bourbon with the grains smoked using tobacco leaves. Unfortunately my Google skills are failing me and I can't find it.

I would really look more towards American whiskeys for this flavour. I've also found it in a few rums, mainly Chairmans Reserve and Havana Club.

Older speyside whiskies sometimes have tobacco and leather notes.

thx all :)

This is a little off-topic, but Ralfy on YouTube will tell you how to "peat" a cigar!

@OlJas Oh...the horror......

I go in the other direction with cigars. I choose milder whiskies to compliment them. I also love whiskies with coffee flavors (figuratively not literally) to go with cigars.

In fact, The MacTarnahan literally in some cafe Americano is delicious with a cigar. A good sherry also goes excellent with cigars. A delicious whisky with cigars is the Tobermory 15. It is very very sherry intensive. Beyond a sherry bomb. As for red wines with cigars, try the Moxy if you can get it. A bottle in Portland sells for $14 right now, an excellent bargain. Moxy has high tannins but it is not acidic due to a very unique aging process by a very innovative vintner with a good deal of experience. Moxy, lives up to its name. It is very full and rich, perfect with a cigar.

@SMC Please let me know when you remember :)

Alright I did some more digging and I found MBR Black Dog. Looks to be a very young (mostly) corn Kentucky whiskey, with some of the grains smoked over tobacco leaves.

To my novice nose/palate, George T Stagg (2011) has tobacco and leather notes within the general flavour/aroma profile...

Glenfarclas 17 has some tobacco notes going on.
