Rare Character Single Barrel Series Selected By Southern Smoke Foundation
Rare Character was created to present unique and untasted American whiskeys from across the country. As someone who has been purchasing single barrels for over a decade himself, Co-Founder Pablo Moix has developed personal relationships within the industry which have allowed him access to expressions that have never been bottled for the public.
This Rare Character Single Barrel Series, while not likely to be the highest rye bourbon you’ll ever encounter, certainly stands out! With only the minimum amount of corn required to qualify as bourbon, you might expect a spicy flavor due to its 45% rye mashbill. Aged in a historic warehouse in Kentucky, this barrel code offers an inviting profile we know you’ll love.
