Macanudo Vintage Cabinet Selection 1997 Toro

The Macanudo Maduro Vintage 1997 Toro , with its rich 1997 Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper, pairs excellently with rye whiskeys or those finished in port casks, such as Uncle Nearest Rye , FincasA Rye , and Clonakilty Port Cask Finish . The combination of the intense cigar flavors and the unique characteristics of each of these whiskeys creates complex and satisfying pairing experiences.

• Why it works : The richness and sweetness of the cigar are balanced by the smooth, spicy profile of the Uncle Nearest, creating a harmonious contrast between the cocoa of the cigar and the spicy warmth of the whiskey.

Pairing with FincasA Rye :

• FincasA Rye has a more robust profile with flavors of toasted wood, spice , and a hint of mint and coffee , which pairs beautifully with the earthy and cocoa notes of the Macanudo.
• Why it works : The natural sweetness of maduro meets the intense spices of FincasA Rye, creating an enveloping smoke where cocoa and earthy spices merge with the robust rye of the whiskey.

Pairing with Clonakilty Port Cask Finish :

• The Clonakilty Port Cask Finish offers a sweeter edge with notes of red fruits, vanilla , and a hint of caramel . The port cask finish adds a layer of fruity sweetness that complements the cocoa and nutty notes of the Macanudo.
• Why it works : The fruity sweetness and smooth character of the Clonakilty enhance the sweetness of the cigar, while the spices of the cigar contrast with the fruity roundness of the whisky.
