Luxury and luxury brandlifestyle, Jacob & Co. is creating its first-ever spirit. Two thousand decanters of the new Jacob & Co. x Alec Monopoly Limited Edition whisky will be available. The 30+ year-old blend was blended by legendary Master Blender Andrew Rankin. It is presented in a bespoke decanter designed by partner Constellation X and co-signed by Alec Monopoly. The Jacob & Co. x Alec Monopoly Limited Edition whisky will be available from Constellation X and select retailers.
Jacob & Co. is expanding into premium spirits. This extremely fine, limited-edition whisky joins its jewelry, fine jewelry, and fine watchmaking collections, complementing its accessories line and following the launch of the Burj Binghatti Jacob & Co. Residences skyscraper in Dubai. The Jacob & Co. x Alec Monopoly Limited Edition whisky is one of the most exclusive whiskies recently released. Only 2 decanters of this finely crafted nectar will be available, with a retail price of $500. The contents are a blend of 30-year-old Scotch whiskies. This means that each of the spirits in the blend is at least 30 years old.
Jacob & Co. x Alec Monopoly Limited Edition Whisky was born in 2016, when former Bowmore Master Blender and Scotch whisky legend Andrew Rankin blended the finest Scotch whiskies from 1st and 2nd fill ex-bourbon American oak casks. The blend was then 26 years old and was immediately refilled into new American oak bourbon casks. It has spent the last four years blending and aging together, making Jacob & Co. x Alec Monopoly Limited Edition Whisky a 30-year-old blend.
The decanter is a bespoke creation, designed by Constellation X and co-signed by contemporary street artist Alec Monopoly. The New York-born artist is a longtime friend of Jacob & Co. He adds a graffiti dimension to the existing complexity of this project. Making this whisky a true product of our times, he enhances it with his colors, typefaces, and typography. Decanter No. 1 is a special edition, individually and personally painted by Alec Monopoly. The artist left his mark on the decanter, stand, and box, making it a contemporary work of art and tasting. This bottle will be auctioned.
There is a common thread between the definition of Jacob & Co. x Alec Monopoly Limited Edition whisky and that of Jacob & Co. watches and jewelry. Their original inspiration is Jacob Arabo's personal drive. He is a drinker and lover of Scotch whisky, almost exclusively. He loves the smooth, creamy, peppery, and lingering oak of this spirit, which is the signature of this unique blend. The other aspect is that Jacob Arabo works with only the finest materials available, the finest gemstones, the most elaborate mechanical constructions. The balance of extremely rare and ancient Scotch whiskies in this blend is that material.
Creating such a high-end spirit is a logical step in the Jacob & Co. brand's trajectory. The steady acceleration in sales, boutique openings, and social media followings attest to Jacob & Co.'s establishment as a luxury lifestyle company, above and beyond pure luxury. Its reach across product lines to the most discerning customers continues to grow. Being "inspired by the impossible" results in increasingly luxurious and finely crafted creations.
