Batch No. 09 is the next evolution in the Rare Character series this time drawing from a curated selection of barrels across Kentucky and Indiana, each chosen for bold aromatics and layered complexity. The mission: assemble a whiskey greater than the sum of its parts rich, textured, and built for the enthusiast who demands nuance and power in the same glass. 

 Tasting Notes

•  Nose
• Expectations open with warm maple syrup and brown sugar, followed by charred oak, dried cranberries, subtle leather, cracked black pepper and a hint of cinnamon bark.  
• Palate
  A weighty, velvety mouth-feel delivers rich caramel, toasted pecan, cocoa nibs, vanilla wafer, dark fruit acidity (black cherry), balanced by oak tannin and spice heat.  
• Finish
  Long and warming: lingering charred oak, black tea undertones, caramel-syrup sweetness fading into peppery depth and rye-bread crust dryness.  

 Serving Suggestions

•  Neat  Best way to appreciate the depth and proof. Let it breathe a minute.
• With a Large Ice Cube  Slight chill and dilution open hidden notes of fruit and soften the oak edge.
• Signature Cocktail “Batch 09 Boulevardier”
  
• 1.5 oz Rare Character Batch No. 09
• 1 oz sweet vermouth
