Rare Hare 7 Year Blended Bourbon Finished With French Oak Staves
Rare Hare is the whiskey label of Playboy Spirits, and this 7 Year Blended Bourbon is its flagship: a marriage of 55% Kentucky straight bourbon aged in new charred American oak and 45% bourbon-mash American whiskey aged in charred American oak, both at least seven years old, finished with toasted French oak staves immersed in the spirit, a technique borrowed from the boisé practice of Cognac houses. By controlling the surface area and toast level of the staves instead of dumping the whiskey into a fresh French barrel, the blender adds French oak's vanilla and spice without the heavy tannin a full finish would bring, and the whiskey is bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV). The producer's notes describe a nose of light French oak, soft vanilla, rich toffee and a subtle sweetness; a palate led by American oak with sarsaparilla and sandalwood that builds into pink peppercorn spice; and a crisp, clean finish where the peppercorn warmth fades into toasty oak. Pour it neat or over a large cube, where the stave finish shows most clearly.
