Rare Character Exceptional Series Generation 3 13 Year
Rare Character The Exceptional Series Generation 3 13 Year Straight Tennessee Whiskey is a striking release born from patience and tradition. Distilled in November 2011 and aged for over thirteen years in new charred American oak, it reflects the rugged Tennessee climate that builds depth and power into every drop. Bottled in May 2025 at full cask strength, this expression comes in at an astonishing 77.47% ABV, showcasing Rare Character’s commitment to authenticity and intensity.
The nose is layered with deep oak, rich butterscotch, crème brûlée, cinnamon, burnt citrus, and aged tobacco. On the palate, it delivers honeyed sweetness balanced with leather, caramel, coriander, and vanilla spice, carried by the strength of mature oak. The finish is long, warming, and complex, leaving lingering notes of molasses, dried fruit, and earthy tobacco.
Crafted as part of Rare Character’s elite Exceptional Series, this Generation 3 release represents the artistry of extended aging and uncompromising standards. Bold, collectible, and meant to be savored slowly, it reveals its finest qualities when enjoyed neat in a Glencairn or with a touch of water to unlock hidden dimensions. A whiskey designed for enthusiasts who value power, elegance, and the unmistakable imprint of time.
