SHORT BARREL CIGAR BATCH 3 IN STOCK NOW -- $89.99
GAUGE 36
Built on an 8-year-old MGP bourbon with a 36% rye mash bill foundation and blended with Kentucky bourbon from Bardstown, this high-rye blend was finished for 1 to 3 years in Cognac, Rum, Armagnac, and Tawny Port casks.
At 114 proof it drinks with edge: clove, cinnamon stick, orange zest, and peppery char lead the way, with flashes of dark cherry, burnt caramel, and fig on the mid-palate. The higher rye content cuts through with structure and heat, finishing long and dry with notes of espresso, to***co leaf, and smoldering oak.
🔥 Best paired with:
• Medium-to-full-bodied ci**rs
• Sun Grown, Habano, or Maduro wrappers with earthy, spicy character
GAUGE 21
The latest evolution in our Cigar Series — and easily our most complex yet.
This 12-barrel blend is built around an 8-year MGP bourbon (21% rye), layered with additional Kentucky bourbon finished from Bardstown. The entire blend was then finished for up to 3 years in Cognac, Rum, Armagnac, and Tawny Port casks. No American whiskey in this one — just full-bodied bourbon, aged and bottled in Atlanta.
Tasting notes:
Nose: Molasses, dried apricot, toasted oak
Palate: Spiced dark chocolate, cigar box, stone fruit, candied orange
Finish: Black tea, fig jam, leather, pipe to***co, burnt sugar
Cigar pairing suggestions:
Reach for a medium-to-full bodied cigar with rich cocoa, leather, or nutty undertones to complement the layered sweetness and spice of Gauge 21. A maduro wrapper or aged Nicaraguan blend would pair beautifully.
Suggested retail: $89.99
