When the seasons change so should your blend of pipe tobacco and since we’re lurching into what some may discern as the possibility of a summer here in Scotland I’d say it’s time to shake of the heavy Latakia based blends of winter and partake in something a wee bit more delicate for those civilized summer evenings; the Erinmore mixture is just the ticket. The blend hasn’t changed in near 100 years and remains a closely guarded secret to all but two people appointed as guardians in each generation, anyone who partakes in a bowl will see why so. A harmonious interplay between sweet bright Virginia and dark cool black Cavendish presents the palate with a rounded pineapple sweetness rooted in a base of brown sugars, flapjacks, and a cool biscuit like savoury finish. The blend is masterful and should be enjoyed with the likes of bourbon matured Speyside malts, dry Olorosso sherry, or lightly chilled Chardonnay.
