Erin Go Bragh Irish Whiskey

Erin Go Bragh may not be as picturesque as the rolling hills of Ireland but with its smooth, lovely, golden-brown Connecticut shade wrapper it must be close. Its orange, white and green band is a tribute to the Irish flag and its name – Erin Go Bragh – means Ireland forever, so the fact that it’s infused with authentic Irish whisky is no surprise. The surprise is for those wary of flavored cigars. With its subtle and nuanced flavor this baby stands alone in a whole separate category of infused cigars. Roll it between your forefinger and thumb and you’ll note it has the look and feel of a top-quality premium cigar. This is not surprising since the Erin Go Bragh is produced in the Dominican Republic at the prestigious La Aurora factory. Look for the unexpected—a whisky taste that’s very subtle–just enough to let you know it’s there. The whisky is more prevalent in the aroma, and offers a nice interplay of rich sweet whisky paired with the buttery, well-aged 100% Dominican long-leaf tobaccos. The flavor profile is creamy and toasty with natural sweetness that’s balanced by a crisp tobacco taste. Look for an easy draw, dense clouds of white smoke and a distinct aroma. The Erin Go Bragh is an exceedingly mild and smooth cigar. Make it your golf cigar or enjoy it as an occasional. This versatile smoke is light and smooth enough to be your first cigar of the day, but it still has enough “junk in the trunk” to serve as a pleasurable after-dinner treat. Try it with mellow pale ale.
