Brook Hill 15 Year is the oldest Rare Character bourbon most people will ever see — fifteen-year Kentucky straight bourbon from the resurrected black-label line, at 109.76 proof, uncut. Whisky Advocate calls Rare Character America’s hottest whiskey company: Pablo Moix, a twenty-year vintage-spirits buyer, and Peter Nevenglosky founded it in Louisville in 2021 to bottle the ultra-aged barrels distilleries wouldn’t sell them as a startup, until relationships with Wild Turkey, Willett, and Bardstown Bourbon Company opened up; Brook Hill is the top tier, reserved for six-to-twenty-year Kentucky and Indiana parcels, every bottle sealed in colored wax. The 15 Year is a fifteen-year Kentucky straight bourbon bottled at barrel strength — 109.76 proof, the gentle side of cask strength after a decade and a half of evaporation; check your bottle for the batch details. Expect what fifteen Kentucky summers give: a dense nose of old oak, leather, dark caramel, and dried cherry, a rich, layered palate of toffee, tobacco, baking spice, and stewed fruit with real tannin, and a very long, dry, oaky finish. Honest note: fifteen-year bourbon is scarce from anyone and Rare Character’s bottlings of it trade far above retail — for the serious collector, and the drinker who wants to taste what the secondary market is arguing about. Neat, in a Glencairn, slowly. Brook Hill, fifteen years.
