The Rare Character Limited Release 2025 Batch No. 05 Rye is a masterful display of blending precision—an exact 50/50 union of Kentucky and Indiana rye whiskies. This unique creation, known as “25B5,” artfully combines two distinct low-rye profiles to form a whiskey that’s both rich and balanced, delivering the perfect bridge between bold rye tradition and bourbon-inspired sweetness. The result is a spirit that’s deeply flavorful, smooth, and endlessly satisfying.
