Rare Character Limited Release (RCLR) Batch 2 Kentucky Straight Whiskey

RCLR Batch 2 is Rare Character’s most ambitious blend yet—an artful union of carefully selected wheated bourbons and straight rye bourbon barrels, ranging in age from ~5½ to 15 years, brought together at a bold 121.5 proof (60.7% ABV) . 🧠 Tasting Notes Nose: Rich rickhouse oak, bing cherry, vanilla, caramel, and a hint of mesquite smoke—nostalgic yet bold  Palate: Dense and layered—sweet caramel and toffee from the wheated bourbon, intertwined with red fruits, charred oak, tobacco, and a touch of creamy crème brûlée  Finish: Long, wood-spice driven, warming, with lingering earthy oak and gentle tannins  🌟 What Makes It Stand Out Barrel synergy: A marriage of top-tier barrels crafted to be more than the sum of their parts  Cask-strength power: Bottled undiluted at 121 proof—full-bodied richness while still remarkably balanced . Critically lauded: Awarded Double Gold at the 2025 San Francisco World Spirits Competition—a nod to its exceptional quality 🔥 Why You’ll Love
