Rare Character Old Cassidy Kentucky Straight Bourbon 2026 Release

Rare Character Old Cassidy Kentucky Straight Bourbon 2026 Release is a limited annual cask-strength bourbon crafted from carefully selected Kentucky straight bourbon barrels, with 18-year-old Kentucky bourbon serving as the base of the blend. Distilled and aged in Kentucky and bottled in Lexington, this inaugural annual release brings together mature barrels chosen for depth, richness, and distinctive character.

Bottled at an impressive 123 proof (61.5% ABV) without dilution, Old Cassidy delivers a bold yet remarkably layered profile. Aromas of dark cherry, caramelized brown sugar, vanilla, and toasted oak lead into a rich palate of toffee, brown butter, dried fruit, molasses, and warming spice. The finish is long and warming, with lingering oak, honey, tobacco, and gentle spice.

A standout choice for serious bourbon enthusiasts and collectors, Rare Character Old Cassidy 2025 showcases the depth and complexity that can come from blending mature Kentucky bourbon at full cask strength.
