Yalumba has some pretty good tawny that not many are familiar with.. probably because it's Australian and not Portuguese and so being that parallels "scotch" coming from Japan... (hopefully you get my point). However, pairing their Antique Tawny with say a Camacho Corojo Churchill (or even Cetros) is pretty nice when I'm not drinking single malt scotch or beer. Also pairs well with LFDs and My Fathers.

I first started drinking Yalumba with their Clocktower and Galway Pipe releases back in the 90s and early 2000s. If you find them.. highly recommend.

I also drink Taylor Fladgate, Graham's and Sandeman and they pair well too. Though of these I think the 20 year old Taylor Fladgate is best for me. My wife likes Six Grapes and well.. it's pretty good but I'll go back to Yalumba in a heartbeat.

Also.. I'm not talking bad about Japanese Whisky above.. Yamazaki 18 is not too bad at all... It's actually very nice.
