Alec Bradley has announced the latest installment in its Uncut Series, this time partnering with Penelope Bourbon for a limited cigar and whiskey pairing. The release marks the eighth batch in the Uncut Series and the first time the project has included Penelope Bourbon.
The package includes two Alec Bradley Do Not Disturb Robusto cigars alongside a 750ml bottle of Penelope Bourbon Estate Series Single Barrel. According to the company, the pairing is designed to highlight complementary profiles between the cigar and the bourbon. The release is scheduled to go on sale December 18, 2025, with availability limited to 66 packages sold exclusively through Bourbon Outfitter.
“Family has always been so important to us,” said Alec Rubin, Brand Manager of Strategic Partnerships at Scandinavian Tobacco Group. “My father named this brand after myself and my brother, Bradley. So partnering with a respected bourbon brand that was named after co-founder Michael Paladini’s daughter Penelope was kind of a full circle moment for Alec Bradley.”
Rubin also noted the appeal of the pairing itself. “But beyond our similar brand stories, we love this cigar and bourbon pairing. Penelope’s Estate Collection Single Barrel perfectly complements our medium-bodied Do Not Disturb, and vice versa.”
The Do Not Disturb Robusto included in the Uncut Series measures 5 x 50 and features an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over a Dominican Criollo binder, with Dominican Piloto and Mexican Ligero fillers. The blend is described by the company as medium-bodied, with notes that include earth, spice, hay, and tea.
The Penelope Bourbon Estate Series Single Barrel is aged for ten years and bottled at 132.7 proof. The mash bill consists of 60% corn, 36% rye, and 4% malted barley. As a single barrel release, each bottle reflects the characteristics of its individual barrel selection.
