About this bottle
Rare Character Limited Release Straight Rye, Batch No. 08, is a cask-strength rye whiskey bottled at 119.4 proof, distilled and aged 8 years in Kentucky and Indiana before being bottled in Lexington, Kentucky. Rare Character sources barrels described as "found in America's rickhouses," positioning itself as a hunter of overlooked, high-quality aged stock rather than a distiller in its own right. Expect pepper and baking spice up front, balanced by citrus and dried herbs, with a long, warming finish typical of a rye this old and this high-proof.
How to drink Rare Character Batch 08
Neat, and add water gradually rather than ice — at nearly 60% ABV this one has plenty of room to open up with a few drops at a time, and diving straight to a diluted pour skips past most of what eight years and cask strength are doing here.
