Bottle Release Announcement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

CrossRoads Wine & Spirits<\/strong> has introduced an exciting new bourbon release \u2014 the Cigar Batch<\/em> from Southern Collective Spirit Company<\/strong>.
This small-batch bourbon begins its life at Bardstown Bourbon Company<\/strong>, where it\u2019s aged for six years before undergoing secondary maturation in a sherry cask<\/strong> and receiving a final touch of Amburana wood finishing<\/strong>. Bottled at cask strength (114.9 proof)<\/strong>, it delivers a rich and layered profile that blends fruit, spice, and warm oak character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quantities are extremely limited, and enthusiasts are encouraged to visit CrossRoads Wine & Spirits<\/strong> soon to secure a bottle before it\u2019s gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

About Southern Collective Spirit Company<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Based in Nashville, Tennessee, Southern Collective Spirit Company (SCSC)<\/strong> 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 \u2014 often including well-known Kentucky producers such as Bardstown Bourbon Company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Curated Approach to Whiskey<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their core philosophy centers on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Transparency<\/strong> \u2013 Openly sharing where their whiskey is sourced and how it\u2019s finished.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Experimentation<\/strong> \u2013 Using diverse finishing woods and casks to create flavor profiles not found in standard releases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Cask Strength Bottling<\/strong> \u2013 Delivering whiskey in its purest form, straight from the barrel without dilution or filtering.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Visitors to the Southern Collective tasting room in Nashville can participate in hands-on experiences, from guided tastings to custom barrel selections and bottling \u2014 making it a destination for enthusiasts who appreciate authenticity and craft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    Why the Cigar Batch Stands Out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    This Cigar Batch<\/em> release captures everything Southern Collective is known for: bold creativity, complex finishing, and balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

      These combined elements create a whiskey that\u2019s ideal for slow sipping or pairing with a fine cigar \u2014 the kind of distinctive offering that fits perfectly with CrossRoads Wine & Spirits\u2019 reputation for showcasing exceptional and limited-release selections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n\n\n

      Final Thoughts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Southern Collective continues to impress whiskey fans with thoughtful, small-batch releases that highlight finishing as an art form. The Cigar Batch is no exception \u2014 rich, bold, and complex, yet approachable enough to share among friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
