STG Kicks Off “The Uncut Series” with Alec Bradley

STG is rolling out a new cigar and whiskey pairing program dubbed “The Uncut Series.” This exclusive series seeks to pair Scandinavian Tobacco Group cigars with select single barrel whiskeys, giving cigar lovers a unique, limited edition experience. 

The debut duo will feature Alec Bradley Double Broadleaf cigars and Starlight Rye Whiskey Cigar Batch, aged in exotic Brazilian Amburana barrels. The whiskey was personally selected for its elegant nose and rare characteristics by Alec Rubin, Alec Bradley’s brand manager of strategic partnerships. The cigar pairing was chosen by Alec Bradley Brand Ambassador Bradley Rubin to complement the many layers of the Double Broadleaf blend.  

“The Uncut Series was created to celebrate the unbreakable bond between cigars and spirits, and it gives me great pride to launch with an Alec Bradley pairing.” said Alec Rubin. “Through this exciting new initiative, we will leverage our relationships with boutique players and powerhouse brands in the spirits world to pair one-of-a-kind single barrel picks with cigars from STG’s renowned portfolio of handmade brands.”

The Starlight Rye Whiskey Cigar Batch single barrel pick is a four-and-a-half-year-old spirit aged in rare, sustainably-sourced Brazilian Amburana casks that impart distinctive notes of maple syrup and cinnamon against the backdrop of fresh bread, creating an experience reminiscent of French toast. When paired with Alec Bradley Double Broadleaf’s notes of earth, wood and pepper, the pairing creates a captivating study in sweet and savory. 

Christian Huber, seventh generation master distiller of Starlight Distillery said, “We are honored to be the American whiskey brand that was selected to launch STG’s Uncut Series. Uniquely similar to the traditions of cigar makers, our spirits represent a terroir-driven craft that has been handed down generation to generation to create memorable moments of enjoyment.”

The Uncut Series inaugural release will only be available through Bourbon Outfitters, starting on September 22, 2023. Only 101 Uncut Series pairing packages have been created to include a 750 mL bottle of Starlight Rye Whiskey Cigar Batch and four Alec Bradley Double Broadleaf Robusto cigars (5” x 50).
