Rare Character Single Barrel Straight Bourbon – Charred Stave “SEG 1484”
Series: Single Barrel Series
Barrel Code: SEG 1484
Style / Mash Bill Info:

• The “SEG” designation stands for “segale,” the Italian word for rye, indicating a high-rye bourbon. 

• Sample breakdown for SEG barrels: approx 64% rye, 30% corn, 6% malted barley. 
  Series Context:

• Part of Rare Character’s Single Barrel Series, which aims to offer one-of-a-kind American whiskey expressions from carefully selected barrels. 
  Tasting Profile / Character:

• From the Barrel Breakdown page for SEG: Nose includes lime zest, burnt caramel, toffee, whipped cream, rosemary, clove, nutmeg, thyme, and cardamom. Taste builds on earthy rye/spice character plus vanilla and caramel. Finish medium-long.

• Finish / Experience:

• Expect a bold mouthfeel, somewhat tannic oak influence, pronounced spice given the high rye, layered sweet oak/vanilla/caramel from corn/malt content.

• Likely an appreciable finish that evolves with water/air due to barrel influence and char.
  

• Bottle / Collector Angle:

• As a single barrel release, each bottle from barrel SEG 1484 is unique to that barrel (rather than a blend of barrels). This adds collector value, especially for enthusiasts of Rare Character’s high-rye series.

• Good condition, proper storage, label/vacuum integrity all matter for valuation.
