Rare Character Whiskey is a purveyor of fine American whiskey who have exclusive access to expressions that have never been released to the public.

“Old Mate” is the first set of single barrel selections outside of the USA, exclusively for the Australian market from the Rare Character Whiskey Company.

On the palate, notes of winter mint, leather, brown butter, honey tea, fried dough; light apricot and peach jam on the finish, before rounding out with oak tannins, pepper, and vanilla. This spent a chunk of its life in metal and concrete warehousing; along with the low toasted heads, it lends to the light tropical fruit and sweet notes, the rye spice is underlying the whole profile for a richer mouthfeel and complexity.

Aged for just shy of 7 years, with a proof of 115.22 and 57.61% abv. Mash: 51 rye / 45 corn / 4 malt.
