Tasting Notes

The Gurka Royal Challenge Cigar is a smooth and velvety cigar for a relaxing smoking experience. Its flavor profile is incredibly complex with crisp notes of sweet tea, cedar, and a hint of citrus balanced with a woody cedar note, slightly accentuated by peppery spice. It retains a luxuriously rich and regal vanilla base with some buttery creaminess to keep the flavor sweet and light or medium-bodied until the finish, revealing the natural flavor of the tobacco.

Volcán Reposado embodies the perfect union of agave, terroir and wood. At the heart of Volcán Reposado is 100% blue agave from the high-lands, delivering a soft yet rich flavor that is free of additives. Each bottle considers and respects time and the ageing process, consisting of liquid that rests for 135 days in new casks made of American and European oak. This allows for a delicate yet complex interaction between the liquid and the wood and ultimately results in a pleasant release of toasted tobacco notes alongside those of pineapple, light citrus and honey, creating a smooth and balanced finish.

A solid cocktail choice, this 100% agave Tequila has rich, rounded vanilla and zingy peppery notes followed by a dry cocoa accent on the finish. The bottle is a stunner, with its yellow, red and black Day of the Dead graphic that's meant to be frozen to bring out additional thermochromic details. (It's a bit of overkill—the bottle is plenty eye-catching at room temperature.)

Food Pairings: A Culinary Adventure

The versatility of José Cuervo Tradicional Reposado makes it an excellent companion to a variety of dishes. Its smooth, slightly sweet profile complements spicy Mexican cuisine, such as tacos al pastor or enchiladas with mole sauce. The subtle oak notes also pair well with grilled meats, adding a touch of complexity to the meal.  

For a delightful cheese pairing, consider a mature Manchego. Its nutty, slightly salty character balances the sweetness of the tequila, creating a harmonious flavour combination. A creamy goat's cheese, with its tangy notes, also provides a lovely contrast, enhancing the tequila's subtle spice.

Cigar Pairing: A Moment of Refinement

For those who enjoy a fine cigar, José Cuervo Tradicional Reposado offers a sophisticated pairing. The tequila's smooth, oak-infused character complements cigars with medium to full bodies. Consider a cigar with notes of cedar, spice, or a touch of sweetness.

A Montecristo No. 4, with its balanced flavour profile, would be an excellent choice. The cigar's earthy notes and subtle sweetness harmonise with the tequila's agave and oak. Alternatively, a Partagas Serie D No. 4, with its robust spice, offers a bolder pairing, enhancing the tequila's complexity.
