Rare Character MEL 9 Year Bourbon is a richly aged, barrel-forward bourbon crafted for serious bourbon lovers who value depth, maturity, and unapologetic flavor. Aged for a full nine years, this release delivers the complexity and structure that only time in oak can provide.
The aroma opens with deep caramel, dark brown sugar, toasted vanilla, and seasoned oak. On the palate, MEL 9 Year is bold and layered, featuring flavors of toffee, charred oak, roasted nuts, cocoa, and warming baking spice. The mouthfeel is dense and oily, leading to a long, lingering finish packed with oak, spice, and subtle sweetness.
Bottled by Rare Character, this bourbon reflects the brand’s commitment to releasing whiskey only when it’s truly ready. No shortcuts. No forced youth. Just well-aged bourbon with real character.
Hand-selected for Liquor Depot, this limited release is ideal for bourbon collectors, experienced whiskey drinkers, and anyone looking to step beyond entry-level bottles into something with real presence.
