A powerful straight rye with savoury depth, dried fruit sweetness and classic oak-driven spice, bottled as part of Rare Characters second RCLR batch for 2026.

RCLR Straight Rye Whiskey 2026 Batch 2 balances the lift and drive expected from rye with the deeper, broader texture that comes from expertly marrying multiple standout barrels. The result is layered and distinctive, combining savoury, sweet and oaky elements in a rye that should speak strongly to adventurous whiskey drinkers.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Nose of leather, oak and sweet tobacco.

Palate: The palate brings dried fruit sweetness, bread, fresh green herbs and a dusting of brown sugar.

Finish: Oak and vanilla carry the finish, alongside notes of honey toast and macadamia cookie crumble.
