Alec Bradley and Starlight Distillery will release their second Uncut Series collaboration, pairing Alec Bradley Gatekeeper with Starlight Single Barrel Bourbon Finished in Vino de Naranja Casks.
The pairing packages include four 5.125 x 42 Alec Bradley Gatekeeper Corona cigars and one 750 mL bottle of Starlight Single Barrel Bourbon Finished in Vino de Naranja Casks (112.1 proof/56% ABV). The pairing will sell for $99.99 and is available at https://bourbonoutfitter.com/collections/alec-bradley.
The cigars feature an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers.
“We didn’t set out with a Vino de Naranja-finished bourbon in mind, once we landed there, we were fixated on finding the precise barrel to pair with Gatekeeper,” Alec Rubin, Alec Bradley’s brand manager of strategic partnerships said in a press release. “This is a private barrel bottling that will never be replicated. It represents Starlight’s whiskey-making expertise and our fascination with cigar pairing. It’s a real pleasure to partner with Starlight Distillery again, to release this one-of-a-kind bourbon and cigar experience.”
