Alec Bradley is delighted to debut its latest esteemed Uncut Series offering in connection with a private single barrel offering selected from the rickhouses of Heaven Hill Distillery. Alec Bradley is offering this unique pairing experience to its customers, which includes the recently released Alec Bradley Safe Keepings Robusto and a bottle taken from their private barrel selection of Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon.
This pairing will go on sale Friday, November 15 for $119.99 and will feature four cigars and one 750 ML bottle of Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon. Only 120 pairing packages have been created.
This Uncut Series pairing will only be available for purchase through Bourbon Outfitters.
Alan Rubin, Brand Manager of Strategic Partnerships Scandinavian Tobacco Group, said,
“We’re excited to add a new chapter to the Uncut Series with an absolutely amazing pairing. Both Heaven Hill and Alec Bradley are trailblazers in their respective industries, and we are excited to showcase the new Safe Keepings alongside a classic from Elijah Craig. The big, high-proof flavors of the Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon balance extremely well against the bold flavors of the Nicaraguan tobacco in Safe Keepings. We love this pairing, and we know our fans will too.”
Alec Bradley Safe Keepings is a Nicaraguan puro crafted by Oliva at Tabolisa. It features tobaccos from the most prestigious fields of Estelí, Condega and Jalapa. The smoking experience is medium-to-full-bodied with notes of black pepper, cream, coffee and cocoa. The recipe for the cigar was taken from the founder of Alec Bradley’s original blend book.
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon is an ode to bourbon in its purest form. Each bottle features uncut, 11-year-old bourbon drawn straight from the barrel without chill filtering. Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon allows you to enjoy Elijah Craig the same way master distillers do when they sample straight from the barrel. This barrel selection registers at 61.4% Alcohol by Volume with a proof of 128.2. Tasting notes include vanilla, caramel, butterscotch and baking spices. Whisky Advocate named Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon its Whiskey of the Year in 2017, and this particular barrel comes from Heaven Hill’s legendary Deatsville-EE Warehouse, which was a personal favorite of Bourbon Hall of Famer and Master Distiller Emeritus Parker Beam.
Heaven Hill Distillery is the largest independent, family-owned and led bourbon distillery in the world. Located in Bardstown, Kentucky, it produces some of the finest and most recognizable whiskies on the market, including brands like Larceny, Elijah Craig and Evan Williams.
