S4 E30 Glenmorangie Original 10 YO Scotch with Macanudo Inspirado Green Label - #onestreamlive
For those who relish the art of pairing a fine scotch with a premium cigar, the Glenmorangie Original 10-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch and the Macanudo Inspirado Green Label cigar offer a delightful and approachable combination. This pairing balances the whisky’s bright, citrusy elegance with the cigar’s creamy, earthy complexity, creating a refined yet accessible experience perfect for both seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers.
Glenmorangie Original 10-Year-Old: A Highland Gem
Glenmorangie, a Highland distillery founded in 1843, is celebrated for its tall stills and meticulous cask selection. The Original 10-Year-Old, bottled at 40% ABV, is aged in ex-bourbon casks, delivering a light, vibrant profile. Its flavor notes include:
• Nose: Fresh and floral, with orange peel, vanilla, peach, and a hint of honey.
• Palate: Silky and bright, offering citrus zest, creamy vanilla, green apple, and a touch of almond.
• Finish: Clean and lingering, with soft oak, sweet malt, and a whisper of spice.
The scotch’s crisp, fruity character makes it a versatile partner for a medium-bodied cigar like the Macanudo Inspirado Green Label.
Macanudo Inspirado Green Label: A Brazilian Twist
The Macanudo Inspirado Green Label, crafted in the Dominican Republic, stands out with its rare Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper, paired with Dominican Piloto Cubano and ColombianCarmen Cubita fillers and an Indonesian binder. Robusto 5x52 on the ring gauge. This medium-bodied cigar offers a smooth yet distinctive smoking experience. Key flavor notes include:
• Cold Draw: Earthy with hints of cocoa and cedar.
• Flavor Profile: Creamy coffee, roasted nuts, and sweet wood, with subtle spice and a grassy undertone from the Arapiraca wrapper.
• Finish: Smooth and slightly sweet, with lingering creaminess and a touch of pepper.
The cigar’s balanced earthiness and creamy texture pair seamlessly with the scotch’s lively fruit notes. The scotch’s citrus and vanilla notes enhance the cigar’s creamy coffee and nutty flavors, while the cigar’s earthy spice complements the whisky’s subtle oak and malt. The pairing feels light yet flavorful, with the scotch’s brightness cutting through the cigar’s richer undertones for a cohesive experience.
Why It Works
The Glenmorangie 10’s crisp, fruit-forward profile complements the Macanudo Inspirado Green Label’s medium-bodied creaminess without overwhelming it. Both share a smoothness and subtle sweetness that tie them together, while their contrasting notes—citrus versus earth, vanilla versus coffee—add intrigue. This pairing is ideal for those seeking elegance with just enough complexity.
Final Thoughts
The Glenmorangie Original 10-Year-Old Scotch and Macanudo Inspirado Green Label cigar form a sophisticated yet easygoing pairing that celebrates craftsmanship and balance. Whether you’re unwinding after a long day or sharing with friends, this duo delivers a memorable sensory journey. Pour a dram, light up, and enjoy the harmony.
Final Score: 89/100
This pairing shines for its accessibility and balance, with the scotch’s bright fruitiness and the cigar’s creamy earthiness creating a delightful contrast. A touch more intensity could push it higher, but it’s a fantastic choice for a refined, approachable experience.
