Rare Character Limited Release (RCLR) Batch 1 Kentucky Straight Whiskey

The Rare Character Limited Release (RCLR) Batch 1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a meticulously crafted blend that showcases the art of whiskey blending at its finest. This inaugural release combines a foundation of 5.5-year-old Kentucky-distilled wheated bourbon with 8-year and 15-year Kentucky rye bourbons, resulting in a harmonious balance of sweet, dessert-like notes and bold, spicy undertones. Bottled at cask strength, it delivers a robust and complex flavor profile that appeals to both high-proof enthusiasts and those seeking a versatile sipping experience. With only 2,500 bottles produced, each featuring the brand's iconic llama artwork, this limited-edition release is both a collector's item and a testament to Rare Character's dedication to quality and innovation .

Who We Are
 Rare Character is dedicated to providing exceptional, memorable spirits that celebrate the rich heritage of American whiskey-making. In just a few short years, our portfolio has expanded to include a wide range of distinctive whiskeys and product lines, from the beloved Single Barrel Series to the historic Brook Hill and more.

Whether it’s a hyper-limited release such as Obliteration or something more widely available like our Maple bourbons and ryes, each and every bottling reflects our commitment to quality and artistry. With a passion for exploring new flavor profiles and pushing the boundaries of traditional whiskey-making, we are thrilled to introduce our latest endeavor: Rare Character Limited Release.

Scouring for the Best Barrels
 Tapping into our renowned access to the best barrels, vetted by the strictest criteria, we have meticulously selected barrels from across the country. Our expertise in identifying and combining these unique barrels allows us to go beyond the barrel with this limited release. Each barrel we choose contributes to a blend that is better than the sum of its parts, ensuring an extraordinary whiskey experience for both connoisseurs and casual sippers alike.

Better than the Sum of Its Parts

The blending process for Rare Character Limited Release is a true art form. For Batch #1, we began with a foundation of 5.5-15 year Kentucky-distilled straight wheated bourbon whiskey & Kentucky straight rye bourbon whiskey. This careful process allowed us to maintain consistency and highlight the sweet, dessert-like qualities of the wheat bourbon, while balancing it with oak, tannins, and a cask strength of 113 proof.

Limited Release Batch #1 - Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
 The first bottling of our Rare Character Limited Release series, Batch #1, is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey blend that showcases the meticulous attention to detail that defines Rare Character. Our blending process was slow and deliberate, ensuring that every barrel contributed to a balanced and consistent final product. Every batch will feature a different iteration of the thematic curated artwork adding a touch of collectability, making it not just a drink, but a piece of art to be cherished."
