While in the past, the only way to enjoy a dram and a smoke would be to actually have a cigar and a glass of whisky, now with the age of social media, experiencing some of the joys of these treats can be instantaneous with the incredible Instagram accounts showing off the impressive collections of others. Although nothing can ever beat the real deal in your hand, these Instagram accounts can often provide a human insight into which stogie or whisky bottle you should buy and try next. We present a few of our favourite accounts in the cigar and whisky world.
Whisky and Donuts(@whiskyanddonuts)
Whisky and Donuts takes pairing to the next level with some of the most incredible looking baked goods we’ve ever seen. A lot of thought goes into matching up each bottle of Scotch or whiskey with the delicious looking doughnuts, and each is reviewed for their flavour notes. The drams are served neat in a custom Whisky and Donuts glass, making all of the images look very smart and well put together. Every post will contain a number of images, giving you up-close shots of both the bottle and the bake. Be warned though, one look at this Instagram and your tummy will be rumbling!
The Cigar Strategist(@thecigarstrategist)
The Cigar Strategist is one of the most popular cigar-related accounts on Instagram, and from the pictures, it’s easy to see why. A fan of cigars, coffee and watches, you’ll get to see snaps of both single cigars currently being smoked, or freshly bought full boxes of some of the best sticks going in the cigar world. An incredible collection of cigars can be spotted here!
Life of Luxe(@lifeofluxe)
The Life of Luxe certainly lives up to its name, with an incredible assortment of sips and smokes. Pairing each bottle with a stogie, there are plenty of ideas to get you started on a whisky and cigar filled evening.
Scotch Trooper (@scotch_trooper)
Whisky may sometimes be seen as a serious drink; a splash swirled in a crystal tumbler held by a moustachioed man in a leather armchair as he takes a deep and thoughtful puff on his cigar. Scotch Trooper singlehandedly smashes this stereotype away, bringing all the fun back to the dram we know and love with this Star Wars inspired account. Bringing an assortment of characters from the famous franchise together with a whole host of exciting whiskies from around the world. Each post is fantastically framed, bringing the Troopers to life; and it sure does look like they enjoy their Scotch!
Marvel at Whisky (@marvelatwhisky)
Similar to the above, but with a comic book spin, Marvel at Whisky sees a range of action figures going head-to-head with an impressive collection of whisky bottles, from The Macallan to the Yamazaki. With Deadpool and Spiderman featuring quite regularly, it’s not hard to see why the page is steadily gaining interest!
The Whisky Accountant (@the_whisky_accountant)
Accountant by day, whisky drinker by night (if the name didn’t give it away), The Whisky Accountant keeps it real with his reviews of drams from all around the world. Each snap of his evening drink is accompanied by a description and a recipe so that you can recreate the gorgeous looking drink he’s mixed together. While whisky certainly takes the forefront of his interests, other alcohol types, including gin and tequila will also feature in his drinks and reviews. More in-depth discussions of each dram can also be found on his blog.
