Rare Character is a single barrel independent bottling program that sources exceptional aged American whiskey and presents each barrel under a distinctive named title. The xWASxHEREx naming reflects the program's creative approach to barrel documentation — each release carrying a unique identifier that gives individual barrel character a personality rather than just a number.
