Rare Character
Limited Release
Rare Character Limited Release, aka RCLR, is the most ambitious launch from Rare Character to date. Our passion for exploring new flavor profiles and pushing the boundaries of traditional whiskey-making is evident in the wide range of RCLR. Each limited batch is a marriage of some of the finest barrels we have encountered in our journeys through the rickhouses of America—a combination of flavor profiles that achieves greater complexity, depth, and flavor together than on their own.
Scouring for the Best Barrels
Tapping into our renowned access to the best barrels, vetted by the strictest criteria, we have meticulously selected barrels from across the country. Our expertise in identifying and combining these unique barrels allows us to go beyond the barrel with these limited releases. Each barrel we choose contributes to a blend that is better than the sum of its parts, ensuring an extraordinary whiskey experience for both connoisseurs and casual sippers alike.
Better than the Sum of Its Parts
The blending process for Rare Character Limited Release is a true art form. Our blending process is meticulous and deliberate, ensuring that every barrel contributes to a balanced and consistent final product. Every batch features a different iteration of the annual, curated thematic artwork, adding a touch of collectability, making it not just a drink but a piece of art to be cherished and shared amongst friends.
