You assumed cigar cask meant smoky and tobacco-forward — we all did. But the real story goes back to 1980s French Cognac and Armagnac producers who crafted specific blends designed to pair with a cigar, not taste like one. Today’s cigar cask and cigar finish whiskeys are typically finished in dessert wine barrels — think dried fruit, spice, aged wine notes, and occasionally a whisper of tobacco. The goal? A whiskey that sits perfectly alongside your smoke.
If you’re new to cigar cask whiskeys or wondering which ones are worth your time, this one’s for you.
