2024 Rare Character Single Barrel Series Straight Rye Whiskey 7 Year 5 Months Finished in an Apricot Brandy Cask 119.70 Proof Selected by "The RC Clubhouse" (2024) 119.7 Proof 750ml

Lush stone fruit collides with intense cask-strength rye in this standout single barrel aged 7 years and 5 months. Bottled at 119.7 proof exclusively for The RC Clubhouse, Barrel No. APR-R-719 temperately balances high-proof rye pepper against the luscious, jammy sweetness of apricot brandy casks. Topped in vibrant orange wax, this limited 2024 release represents experimental finishing executed at the highest level.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Vibrant aromas of dried apricot, poached peach, and orange marmalade meld with herbaceous rye grain, crushed mint, cracked peppercorn, and warm toasted oak.

Palate: Viscous and commanding at cask strength, featuring rich apricot nectar, spiced apple butter, candied ginger, and baking cinnamon grounded by sharp rye spice and charred wood sugars.

Finish: Long, warming, and resonant, carrying lingering notes of stone fruit preserves, dark cocoa, clove, and a refined tannic dryness that reins in the sweetness.
