I have a great pairing today. I am pairing the silky smooth and approachable Gentleman Jack from Jack Daniels with an equally smooth and approachable Macanudo Inspirado White Label. 

Gentleman Jack

Classification: Tennessee Whiskey
Company: Brown-Forman
Distillery: Jack Daniel’s Distillery
Release Date: Ongoing
Proof: 80
Age: NAS
Mashbill: 80% Corn, 12% Malted Barley, 8% Rye
Color: Light Copper

Nose: Soft vanilla and caramel mingle with summer fruit, light oak, and a touch of banana.

Palate: banana is followed by a soft wash of sweet flavors - caramel, vanilla custard, honey, brown sugar, and oak

Finish: notes of caramel, brown sugar, and honey

Macanudo Insprirado White Label

The Macanudo Inspirado White is a four-country multi-national blend highlighted by a proprietary Ecuadorian-grown Connecticut Shade wrapper that is aged six years. The blend also features an Indonesian binder. The fillers consist of Mexican San Andres and Nicaraguan Condega leaves aged four years as well as a Nicaraguan Jalapa leaf aged two years.

The one interesting footnote about this cigar is that it does not contain Dominican tobacco. While there have been other Macanudo releases without Dominican tobacco, it still was a bit surprising to me.

Unlike Macanudo Inspirado Orange which is produced in Honduras, the Macanudo Inspirado White comes out of the General Cigar Dominicana factory in the Dominican Republic.

Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut
Binder: Indonesian
Filler:  Mexican, Nicaraguan (Condega and Jalapa)
Country of Origin: Dominican Republic (General Cigar Dominicana)

Nose: stables, hay, rich wood

Cold Draw: creamy citrus and wood

Palate: cream, oak, cedar, and black pepper.
