“These handles are the definition of craftsmanship, and they embody function and beauty.”

Inspired by fine jewelry, the Monogram Designer Collection features two thought-provoking aesthetics for custom appliances. For owners looking for a bold design, the Brass Collection presents an elegant aesthetic, based on the fundamentals of classical architecture, in gold and polished hues. In contrast, the Titanium Collection presents a contemporary luxury aesthetic rooted in the art of reductionism, with sleek lines and dark-charcoal muted tones.

Both collections feature striking finishes wrapped with sustainably sourced, Greenguard Gold Certified, durable leather with state-of-the-art decorative brass trim. The hardware will be manufactured by the Keeler Brass Company, which produces its solid brass and bronze luxury hardware exclusively in America.

“I wanted to design a product that was thought-provoking and distinctive, and Keeler Brass Company x Monogram made this possible,” said Richard T. Anuszkiewicz, Monogram Creative Director. “These handles are the definition of craftsmanship, and they embody function and beauty.”

“For generations, the Keeler name has been a beacon of unrivaled quality and unparalleled craftsmanship, and we are now the honored stewards of carrying the legacy forward,” said Knikki Grantham, Keeler Brass Company creative director. “We are thrilled to partner with Monogram on its Designer Collection to usher in a bold new era of elegant artistry as we relaunch the Keeler Brass brand in 2023.”

The Monogram Designer Collection is also disrupting the luxury space with the debut of the industry’s first-ever custom 96-inch-high refrigeration panels – the brand’s unparalleled panel that stretches floor to ceiling – and custom hoods that allow owners to personalize their appliances.

This single barrel Willet Bourbon is a one-of-a-kind blend exclusively offered at Blend Bar by Davidoff

“Blend Bar by Davidoff” Comes Together With Willet Distillery For Once in a Lifetime Bourbon Whiskey.

@BLEND Bar with @Davidoff Cigars Willett Distillery VIP Experience

Blend Bar by Davidoff, an Internationally renowned upscale cigar and bourbon lounge hosted a one of kind excursion which brought together Davidoff Cigars and Willet Distillery (considered by many the premier bourbon whiskey in the world). The event culminated in the choosing of a limited-edition one-of-a-kind Willet Bourbon barrel which will only be available at Blend Bar by Davidoff’s four locations.

Kentucky, home to Willet Distillery, was ground zero for a first of its kind weekend long celebration of all thing’s luxury. Blend Bar by Davidoff, boasting four locations (Indianapolis, Nashville, Pittsburgh and The Woodlands, TX.), spanning four states, handpicked their top roster of VIP members and Davidoff executives to sample and choose a one of a kind 10-year aged barrel of Willet Bourbon.

The two-day excursion brought together spirits and cigar aficionados to the famed distillery for a day long tasting guided by fifth generation distiller Drew Kulsveen. After the barrel was selected the occasion was celebrated with dinner at the famed Harrison Smith House complete with specially selected limited edition Davidoff Cigars, and Willet Bourbon.

“We understand that Willet Distillery does not offer single barrels, so this was an honor for us at Blend Bar. We want to make clear that the bourbon from this barrel is truly one of a kind. Once it is gone, it is gone forever. We invite the public to one of our Blend Bar locations for this exquisite bourbon.” – Corey Johnston, Partner at Blend Bar by Davidoff.

Most notably, however, is BLEND’s partnership with Davidoff of Geneva USA, which began in 2015. The partnership made BLEND the first and only licensed Davidoff Cigar Lounge in the world.
