Rare Character Limited Release Straight (Batch 1; 2026), 64.5%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2026 ● Reviewer: Danny Brandon ● Category: Blended American Whiskey
A blend of 6–10 year old whiskeys from Kentucky, this offers chocolate, cocktail cherries, cinnamon, vanilla cupcakes, and baking spice on the nose. The palate moves in a rather surprising direction, adding unexpected nutty flavors of salted peanuts and Nutella alongside dark roast, cocoa, and a bit of rum raisin ice cream. The cocoa stays in-frame for the finish, which also features caramel, cinnamon, nutmeg, and even more dark chocolate.
