Rare Character Single Barrel Series 9 Year Old Cask Strength Bourbon Whiskey VTO-012

A standout singlebarrel release from Rare Character, this 9yearold cask strength bourbon (Barrel VTO012) showcases the brands signature depth, maturity, and uncompromising craftsmanship. Selected exclusively by Del Mesa Liquor x Momma’s Liquor, this barrel represents one of the most expressive and layered profiles in the Rare Character portfolio a true collectors gem.

Tasting Notes

• Aroma: Dense waves of caramelized sugar, toasted oak, dark cherry, and vanilla bean, lifted by hints of baking spice and leather.
• Palate: Fullbodied and powerful, delivering rich layers of toffee, brown butter, cinnamon, roasted peanut, and dark fruit compote. The 9 years in oak bring structure and polish, while the cask strength proof amplifies every nuance.
• Finish: Long, warming, and deeply satisfying a slow fade of charred oak, molasses, cocoa, and spice.

Why This Barrel Stands Out

• Single Barrel: No two are alike this is a oneofone expression.
• Aged 9 Years: Matured to peak balance of richness and complexity.
• Cask Strength: Bottled straight from the barrel for maximum flavor integrity.
• Del Mesa Liquor Selection: Curated by one of Californias most respected whiskey programs.
• Highly Allocated: Extremely limited availability with strong collector demand.
