The Opus XXX 10-Year Bourbon Whiskey: A Toast to Rarity, Legacy, and Purpose

Some spirits transcend the glass — they tell a story.

The Opus XXX 10-Year Bourbon Whiskey is one of those rare creations, a liquid narrative woven from craftsmanship, patience, and devotion to excellence. Released exclusively by The Tobacconist of Greenwich in partnership with First Cut Barrel Co., this single-barrel bourbon represents a decade-long journey from cask to collector’s hand.

And yet, this launch is more than a moment to savor fine whiskey. It’s also an opportunity to be part of something truly extraordinary: a chance to win a 10-cigar bundle of Don Arturo Destino al Siglo de Pasión, drawn directly from Carlito Fuente’s personal collection — the only bundle available outside of the Opus Xodus auction.

It’s a celebration of rarity, legacy, and purpose — all embodied in one bottle.

The Bourbon That Redefines Small-Batch Craftsmanship

At its core, the Opus XXX 10-Year Bourbon Whiskey is a testament to what can be achieved when patience and precision meet artistry. Created by First Cut Barrel Co. exclusively for Opus Xodus and The Tobacconist of Greenwich, the bourbon was drawn from a single 2015 cask, selected for its remarkable complexity and balance.

Only 120 bottles exist worldwide — each one a unique expression of a singular barrel that will never be repeated. Bottled at 112.2 proof (56.1% ABV), it’s a spirit designed not for mass appeal but for those who appreciate nuance, structure, and the beauty of impermanence.

The mash bill — 51% corn, 15% rye, and 34% malted barley — delivers an uncommonly rich and layered profile. The high malt content brings a creamy, almost silken texture to the bourbon, creating a harmonious interplay between sweetness, spice, and depth.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Opens with deep tones of caramelized oak, vanilla bean, toasted grain, and dark chocolate. Beneath it all lies the whisper of warm tobacco and a hint of orange zest.

• Palate: Rich, full-bodied, and alive with character. Notes of toffee, charred oak, roasted nuts, and cigar-box spice unfold with each sip. The malted sweetness lingers, creating a bridge between flavor and aroma that feels tailor-made for pairing with the finest cigars.

• Finish: Long and luxurious, fading slowly through cocoa, leather, and baking spice into a gentle caramel warmth.

It’s a bourbon that rewards patience — not just in its aging, but in the experience of savoring it.

Designed to Pair with the Opus Xodus 2025 Collection

There’s a reason this bourbon bears the Opus XXX name. It was chosen not simply for its excellence, but for its seamless pairing potential with cigars from the upcoming Opus Xodus 2025 Collection.

The high-barley mash bill gives the bourbon a creamy, rounded mid-palate — the ideal companion to the natural spice and sweetness of Opus X cigars. Its structure complements Maduro and Habano wrappers beautifully, amplifying the richness of the tobacco without overpowering it.

Whether enjoyed neat, with a splash of mineral water, or alongside a Fuente Fuente Opus X, this bourbon was made for moments of reflection and appreciation. It is as much about harmony as it is about strength — the same philosophy that guides the artistry of the Fuente family.

A Giveaway Rooted in Legacy: The Don Arturo Destino al Siglo de Pasión

To commemorate this landmark release, The Tobacconist of Greenwich is offering something truly extraordinary — a giveaway that connects collectors directly to the Fuente family’s most intimate legacy.

Every purchase of the Opus XXX 10-Year Bourbon Whiskey made between the reveal and the close of the Opus Xodus event will automatically enter the buyer for a chance to win a 10-cigar bundle of Don Arturo Destino al Siglo de Pasión from Carlito Fuente’s personal collection.

This is not just another promotion.
This is the only bundle available outside the Opus Xodus auction — a singular opportunity to own a piece of cigar history that was never intended for public release.

Each cigar in the Don Arturo Destino al Siglo line reflects the Fuente family’s philosophy of artistry, devotion, and destiny. Crafted as a tribute to the family patriarch, Don Arturo Fuente, the blend celebrates the Fuente legacy and the values that define their craft — integrity, humility, and an unrelenting pursuit of excellence.

The winner of this bundle will be announced Friday, October 10th at 5PM EST, marking the conclusion of a week that unites fine whiskey, rare cigars, and charitable purpose.

Giving Back: Proceeds Supporting the Cigar Family Charitable Foundation

At the heart of this release lies not just craftsmanship, but compassion.

Proceeds from every bottle of Opus XXX 10-Year Bourbon Whiskey will benefit the Cigar Family Charitable Foundation (CFCF) — an organization founded by the Fuente and Newman families to support children and families in the Dominican Republic.

Since its inception, CFCF has built schools, medical clinics, and community centers that have transformed the lives of thousands. Its mission goes beyond charity — it’s about empowerment through education, healthcare, and sustainable development.

By purchasing this bourbon, collectors are not only acquiring one of the rarest spirits ever bottled; they’re also contributing directly to a cause that gives back to the very communities that make the world’s finest cigars possible.

It’s a connection between indulgence and integrity — proof that luxury and purpose can coexist beautifully.

The Pursuit of the Unrepeatable

There’s something poetic about a single-barrel release. It exists for a moment in time — never before, never again. The Opus XXX 10-Year Bourbon Whiskey embodies that truth. It’s the physical manifestation of rarity, an experience designed to be savored, shared, and remembered.

Each bottle carries with it the DNA of its barrel — the grain, the climate, the air of the rickhouse where it rested for nine long years. It’s a bourbon with character, conviction, and a distinct sense of place.

In an era of mass production, the Opus XXX stands apart as a reminder that true craftsmanship is defined by limitation. Only 120 bottles. Only one barrel. Only one chance to own something that will never exist again.

And now, paired with the opportunity to win an artifact of Fuente history — a bundle of Don Arturo Destino al Siglo de Pasión cigars — this release becomes more than a bourbon. It becomes an experience of legacy and reverence.

It’s a creation that bridges the worlds of whiskey and cigar connoisseurship, uniting them through excellence, purpose, and legacy.

This release is more than a showcase of rarity. It’s a living expression of what happens when vision meets artistry, when generosity meets craftsmanship — and when the impossible becomes real.

From the single 2015 barrel to the Destino al Siglo giveaway to the support of the Cigar Family Charitable Foundation, every facet of this release represents an ideal: that true luxury is not measured in abundance, but in meaning.

At The Tobacconist of Greenwich, this is our calling — to craft, curate, and share the extraordinary.
This is where the impossible happens.
