After two well received releases of our Kentucky Straight Bourbon Limited Release, we present to you Rare Character Limited Release Rye Whiskey small batch blend, the continuation in the Limited Release series and first small batch rye every produced by RCW!

This blend of Straight whiskies is a blend of 7 and 8 year rye whiskies, distilled in Kentucky and Indiana, utilizing two different mashbills from both states, the most well known 95 rye and 5 malt, as well as, 51 rye 45 corn and 4 malt. Taking the idea from 23B3 of Fortuna Barrel Proof, the idea was to only utilize short barrels or barrels that were far over oaked and seeing what comes of it.

After 4 test blends and numerous days trying to figure out the proportions, we present you with RCLR Rye 24B1! With rich oak, baking spices, dried stone fruit, tobacco, and brown sugar on the nose, the palate imitates the nose almost perfectly, but brings forward flavors of toasted rye bread, white pepper, dried orange peel, clove, and bold vanilla to round out the finish.

At cask strength of 117.9 - the proof balances well with strong mid palate experience of warm, soft tannins, and long lingering spices on the finish. After letting marry in the blending tank for over a month, we think it is of the best quality we have to show you.
