The Pairing Romeo Y Julieta Wide Churchill/Appleton Estate 12 year old
Cigar And Spirit Pairings
Description
Aged for a minimum of 12 years, Appleton Estate Rare Casks is a true expression of Jamaican craftsmanship layered with warm oak, dried fruit, and honeyed spice, carrying the unmistakable depth of the island’s pot-still tradition.
Paired with the Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchill, its creamy, nutty profile and gentle sweetness complement the rum’s bold character perfectly — a match made for slow, unhurried evenings.
The Cigar
Romeo y Julieta is one of the most loved and respected Habanos brands with its elegant, medium-bodied aromas blended from some of the finest tobaccos grown in the Pinar del Rio region of Cuba.
The Rum
The palate is full and elegant with a fresh, citrus opening. Again a little lighter than the 8 year old but the molasses, toffee, treacle and dark spices duly arrive. Some lovely, mature dried fruit comes through on the middle and the citrus continues to fend off the molasses richness. Eventually the citrus gives way to allow the molasses, brown sugar and cocoa notes to come through on the finish along with the dried fruit and a light smokiness.
