Rare Character Dual Force Two-Pack

Single Barrel Bourbon + 21Year American Light Whiskey
Save $20 when purchased together

Two barrels. Two decades of patience between them. One unapologetic pairing for drinkers who don’t tiptoe around proof.

This Rare Character Two-Pack unites a high-octane Kentucky bourbon with a monumentally aged American Light Whiskey. Different styles, same philosophy: let the barrel speak, don’t sand down the edges. When you buy both together, you’ll receive $20 off, because some conversations are better when both voices are in the room.

Bottle One

Rare Character Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
8 Years 6 Mo | 129.9 Proof | 750 mL

Expertly selected in close collaboration with Rare Character Co-Founder Pete, the Barrel Proof Direct team chose a barrel that hits with confidence and balance. This 8-year bourbon delivers deep caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak up front, followed by dark chocolate, baking spice, and a long, warming finish that stays true to its proof.

Cocktail Recommendation:
Barrel-Strength Old Fashioned
Use demerara syrup, one dash aromatic bitters, and a wide orange peel. Stir gently and serve over a large cube. This bourbon doesn’t need softening, just framing.

🥃 Bottle Two

Rare Character Single Barrel American Light Whiskey
21 Years | 144.08 Proof | 750 mL

This is American Light Whiskey after a lifetime of oak. Twenty-one years transform the spirit into something dense, layered, and commanding. Expect vanilla bean, burnt sugar, coconut, seasoned oak, and a finish that lingers like a final note held just a little too long. The proof is massive, but the structure holds.

Cocktail Recommendation:
21-Year Sazerac (Small Pour)
Absinthe rinse, Peychaud’s bitters, restrained rich syrup, lemon peel. Keep the pour tight. This cocktail is about reverence, not volume.
