Rare Character The Exceptional Series 9 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon (750 mL)

The Exceptional Series from Rare Character embodies the brand's mission to release the most distinguished and highest quality whiskeys available. This series showcases spirits that are older and more scarcely available than other offerings, with each bottle being at least 9 years old. One such example is a single barrel, cask strength Kentucky Straight Malt Whiskey, aged for 9 years and 6 months. While Rare Character, as an independent bottler, cannot disclose the cask's source, it's likely from Heaven Hill, the only Kentucky distiller producing Straight Malt Whiskey in 2013. With a mashbill of 65% Malted Barley and 35% corn, this powerful and spicy malt whiskey benefits greatly from an ice cube, allowing its rich, malty grain notes to bloom. This release is a testament to Rare Character's focus on curation and exceptional craftsmanship, delivering a truly unique and fascinating whiskey that stands out in both age and proof.
