Rare Character Limited Release (Batch 3; 2026), 59.9%,

Price: 90 ● Issue: Fall 2026 ● Reviewer: Danny Brandon ● Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

A blend of 6.8–10 year old stocks, the nose is dark and fruity, with strawberry bonbons, raspberry jam, custard, vanilla, and caramel. The silky palate is loaded with chocolate syrup, hazelnut spread, cinnamon sugar, and oak, while earth and leather lurk in the background. The finish introduces raspberry coulis, cherry, and burnt orange, amid toasted marshmallow and warm cinnamon. Well-constructed, with a focused profile that evolves and deepens as you sip.
