I really need to get better at taking photos (apologies for the second one but you get the idea).
JACK DANIEL'S SINATRA SELECT BOURBON
After the Angel's Envy Cask Strength (https://partiko.app/yippeekaiyay/angels-envy-cask-strength-bourbon-with-nat-sherman-limited-edition-inhouse-cigar-z49hlbbv?referrer=yippeekaiyay), I was ready for something softer. I would typically consider Jack Daniel's to be lolly water but the Sinatra Select was something else, smoother and more rounded flavours than typical Jack Daniel's whilst not as harsh as the Angel's Envy, a distant cousin in flavour and taste if you will. Whilst still definitely a Bourbon, it was not Jack Daniel's usual taste which was very welcome.
TRINIDAD VIGIA
After the Nat Sherman experience, I was ready for a Cuban cigar that I knew would be gentler on my taste buds. I have reviewed this cigar before so please refer back if you're interested (https://partiko.app/yippeekaiyay/penfolds-bin-28-shiraz-2006-trinidad-vigia-and-soju-35naagft?referrer=yippeekaiyay)
PAIRING
This pairing was surprisingly wonderful. The sweetness from the Bourbon overlayed and complemented the nuttiness from the cigar smoke. Both flavours were enhanced but not so as to create something new.
