Straight Rye Whiskey | 119.94 Proof (59.97% ABV) | 750mL
Process & Profile
Rare Character’s RCLR Straight Rye Whiskey Batch 2 is the second installment in their limited rye series, released in 2025. This batch is a small blend of hand-selected rye whiskey barrels sourced from both Kentucky and Indiana, aged between 6 and 7 years. The final blend includes a mix of mash bills—51% rye, 45% rye, 4% rye, and even a 100% rye barrel—creating a nuanced, spice-forward profile. Bottled at 119.94 proof and non-chill filtered, it delivers bold complexity with remarkable balance.
