Southern Collective – Cigar Batch

Last Updated on October 30, 2025 by 5e2793

New Cigar Batch from Southern Collective Arrives at CrossRoads Wine & Spirits

Bottle Release Announcement

CrossRoads Wine & Spirits has introduced an exciting new bourbon release — the Cigar Batch from Southern Collective Spirit Company.
This small-batch bourbon begins its life at Bardstown Bourbon Company, where it’s aged for six years before undergoing secondary maturation in a sherry cask and receiving a final touch of Amburana wood finishing. Bottled at cask strength (114.9 proof), it delivers a rich and layered profile that blends fruit, spice, and warm oak character.

Quantities are extremely limited, and enthusiasts are encouraged to visit CrossRoads Wine & Spirits soon to secure a bottle before it’s gone.

About Southern Collective Spirit Company

Based in Nashville, Tennessee, Southern Collective Spirit Company (SCSC) has quickly gained attention in the whiskey community for its focus on craftsmanship, transparency, and experimentation. Rather than distilling its own spirits, Southern Collective curates and finishes select barrels from respected distilleries — often including well-known Kentucky producers such as Bardstown Bourbon Company.

A Curated Approach to Whiskey

Southern Collective specializes in taking fully matured bourbon and rye and finishing them in unique casks such as sherry, port, maple, and Amburana. This process allows the team to layer new dimensions of flavor while maintaining the integrity of the base whiskey.

Their core philosophy centers on:

• Transparency – Openly sharing where their whiskey is sourced and how it’s finished.
• Experimentation – Using diverse finishing woods and casks to create flavor profiles not found in standard releases.
• Cask Strength Bottling – Delivering whiskey in its purest form, straight from the barrel without dilution or filtering.

Visitors to the Southern Collective tasting room in Nashville can participate in hands-on experiences, from guided tastings to custom barrel selections and bottling — making it a destination for enthusiasts who appreciate authenticity and craft.

Why the Cigar Batch Stands Out

This Cigar Batch release captures everything Southern Collective is known for: bold creativity, complex finishing, and balance.

• Base Whiskey: A 6-year bourbon distilled by Bardstown Bourbon Company.
• Secondary Aging: Sherry cask finishing that introduces rich, fruity sweetness.
• Final Touch: Amburana wood, lending warm spice and aromatic depth.
• Proof: 114.9, uncut and unfiltered, for a full-bodied experience.

These combined elements create a whiskey that’s ideal for slow sipping or pairing with a fine cigar — the kind of distinctive offering that fits perfectly with CrossRoads Wine & Spirits’ reputation for showcasing exceptional and limited-release selections.
