"Hard times don't create heroes.
It is during the hard times when the 'hero' within us is revealed."

The Rare Character Native Wood Series is born from the main ethos of Rare Character—challenging norms and introducing remarkable, rare spirits—but with another twist; this series uses native wood barrels from around the world, never seen before in the United States to finish American Whiskey.

Drawing inspiration from the hundreds of years of tradition of aging cachaça (Brazilian sugar cane spirit) in over 30 types of wood, a project like this for the whiskey community has never been undertaken. The vast majority of these barrels have never even entered the US, let alone been used to age fine American whiskey. You can expect some truly unique whiskeys to emerge from this series, featuring exotic and nuanced profiles that you won’t find anywhere else.

Embracing our mission of innovation through authenticity has brought us to South America and the incredible array of native wood casks used in the aging of cachaça. This special cask finishing bottle is an extension of the base range of Rare Character single barrel selects from Pablo Moix, elevated with unique access to the wide range of native wood barrels. We have combined one-of-a-kind access to top distilleries' private warehouses and finished these barrels in curated seletions of the finest Amburana (Amburana Acreana), a traditional native wood barrel brough from Brazil to Indiana to finish this whiskey. This is sure to be like nothing you have ever tasted before!
