For almost 30 years the Nobu brand has been synonymous with modern luxury and instinctive design, a commitment to fine ingredients and incredible food, and an innate passion for service. Each of the existing 32 hotel destinations have been carefully selected based on the success of a Nobu restaurant, to reach 60 restaurants worldwide this year, creating a platform for locals and international travelers alike to create unforgettable memories around food. With the concept of Kokoro – the Japanese word for heartfelt – tying the portfolio together, Nobu has continued to maintain a strong family-feel over the last decade fueling its continued expansion.

Providing not just a place to stay, but a place to live, 2023 will also welcome the brand’s first luxury residences in Toronto and Los Cabos, embodying the spirit of Nobu in both design and attitude.

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.
