Rare Character Whiskey Company 'Limited Release' Kentucky Straight Whiskey 2026 Batch 2, 69.9%
RCLR Kentucky Straight Whiskey 2026 Batch 2 is the boldest expression in the release, built from a carefully assembled marriage of barrels selected for depth, richness and length. Despite the high ABV, the profile remains generous and layered, with spice, buttery richness and sweetness all working together in a full-bodied, memorable style.
Tasting note: Nose of buttery cinnamon, caramel and plenty of spice. The palate shows richness, viscosity, crème brûlée and vanilla beneath the spice. The finish moves through oak, bubblegum, watermelon rind and a rounded, bready softness.
Rare Character Limited Release range “RCLR” is the most ambitious launch from Rare Character to date. Each batch is built from a marriage of some of the finest barrels encountered through the rickhouses of America, combining complementary flavour profiles for greater complexity, depth and balance than any one barrel could achieve on its own. On average, these whiskies are a marriage of 8–15-year-old whiskey. This is the second RCLR release for 2026. Rare Character plans to release three to four batches per year, with Australia expected to receive two to three batches annually. Each batch will be different. Each labels artwork is specifically designed by Pablo Moix, wife, each batch has a different piece of artwork.
