Rare Character Limited Release is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey produced by Rare Character, an independent bottler based in Lexington, Kentucky. Each release is a carefully curated blend of hand-selected, high-character barrels sourced from Kentucky's most storied rickhouses. Barrels are chosen for their individuality—bold aromatics, layered complexity, and distinct depth of flavor—then united to create a bourbon that delivers harmony, structure, and a finish that lingers with warmth and grace.

The Limited Release line is bottled at cask strength and is non-chill filtered to preserve the whiskey's full natural character. Typical releases range from approximately 6 to 15 years in age, with proof levels in the high 110s to mid-120s range. The color is a deep mahogany with crimson reflections. On the nose, expect rich caramelized oak, vanilla custard, dark fruit, and toasted almonds. The palate is intensely full-bodied with notes of molasses, cocoa, cinnamon, and black cherry balanced by roasted oak and spice. The finish is long and warming with dark chocolate, tobacco, and hints of burnt sugar and maple.

Each batch is released in limited quantities, typically 2,500–2,700 bottles, making these expressions sought-after collector's items. Best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water in a Glencairn glass to reveal the full depth and layered sweetness. This Costco listing covers a case pack of 6 bottles at 750ML each.
