St. Patrick's Day Pairings
Paddyโs Day in Dublin is a special kind of magic!
The city fills with colour, music and celebration as the parade rolls through the streets and the pubs come alive. But St. Patrickโs Day can also be enjoyed in a quieter way โ away from the crowds, with a good chair, a fine cigar and a glass of something exceptional.
With that in mind, weโve put together a few Paddyโs Day Pairings โ cigars and Irish spirits that complement one another beautifully and make for the perfect way to celebrate at home.
The Silver Shamrock
Joya de Nicaragua Silver Robusto & James J. Fox Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey
Why they're a good pair
The Joya Silver Robusto delivers rich cocoa, roasted coffee and dark cherry with warming spice.
Paired with the James J. Fox Single Pot Still, you get plum pudding sweetness, candied peel and toasted hazelnut warmth.
What To Expect
The whiskey softens the cigarโs earth and cocoa, while its dried fruit sweetness lifts the darker flavours.
The Emerald Cream
Davidoff Signature 2000 & Two Stacks Double Irish Cream Liqueur
Why they're a good pair
With this pairing, things get a little smoother.
The Davidoff Signature 2000 offers elegant notes of oak, toasted wheat and brown sugar, finishing with its signature creamy smoothness. Two Stacks' silky liqueur mirrors the cigarโs soft character, while the Irish whiskey beneath the cream adds a gentle warmth.
What To Expect
A pairing thatโs smooth, creamy and very easy to enjoy โ assuming you've got at least a bit of a sweet tooth!
The Druidโs Encore
EP Carrillo Encore Valientes & The Midnight Silkie Irish Whiskey
Why they're a good pair
The EP Carrillo Valientes is celebrated for its rich, complex character, opening with zesty citrus and peppery spice, before developing into woody notes of cedar and oak and finishing with a creamy smoothness.
Paired with Midnight Silkie Irish Whiskey, the cigarโs richness meets molasses sweetness, dried fruit, and gentle peat smoke. The whiskeyโs smoky depth complements the cigarโs woodiness, while the creamy finish softens the spiritโs edge.
What To Expect
A classic pairing that feels almost ancient. Each sip and puff makes you notice another flavour combination of each side's rich character.
