Rare Character Limited Release Batch No 01 Kentucky Straight Bourbon

(2024 Release)

PRODUCER NOTES:

OVERVIEW: “A harmonious blend of two states, seven ages, This robust yet enjoyable profile pairs excellently with the winter season. The base of the blend consists of 6.5-year-old Kentucky rye bourbon, 7-year-old high rye Indiana bourbon, and 8-year-old low rye Indiana bourbon. The initial base is bright and citrusy, with subtle notes of pepper and toffee. Gradually adding in the older-aged Kentucky bourbon enhances the overall dessert quality and richness, which was the vision for the blend. Utilizing 6.5-15 year bourbons, goal was to create a profile that surpasses the proof so it can be enjoyed by everyone who reaches for it.”
