Overview
Rare Character Single Barrel Select "The Barrel Tap" Barrel VTO-013 – 121.86 Proof, 9 Years 3 Months
Process & Profile:
This exclusive single barrel bourbon from Rare Character, hand-selected by The Barrel Tap, is a limited offering that showcases the bold personality and aged elegance that Rare Character is known for. Distilled on January 14, 2016, and bottled in April 2025, Barrel VTO-013 spent over 9 years aging in oak to develop its distinct character. Made with a traditional high-rye mash bill of 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley, this cask-strength expression comes in at a robust 121.86 proof, delivering intensity and complexity in every pour.
