{"product_id":"rare-stash-bourbon-2-blend-of-straight-bourbon-whiskies-750ml","title":"Rare Stash Bourbon #2 Blend of Straight Bourbon Whiskies 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eRare Stash Bourbon #2 is built on a simple premise: every so often you come across something truly rare, and it deserves to be bottled with care rather than blended away. The brand seeks out unique, select and highly limited barrels of bourbon that have been set aside, then artfully crafts them into a whiskey that is distinctive in form, age, taste and availability. For this release, two straight bourbons were married together, an 8.5 year old aged in number four char white oak barrels and a 7.5 year old rested in number three char white oak, sourced from Tennessee and Indiana and brought together in Bardstown, Kentucky, the heart of bourbon country. Both components share a mash bill of 75% corn, 21% rye and 4% malted barley, giving the blend a backbone of rye spice beneath its sweetness. Bottled at 45.5% ABV (91 proof), the strength was chosen deliberately to magnify the natural flavors rather than mask them, so the taste and finish deliver an extended array of flavor with a soothing heat. The nose is rich and slightly sweet, with vanilla, oak and caramel. The first sip fills the palate immediately, then settles into a penetrating warmth carrying balanced notes of vanilla, butterscotch, oak and a hint of chocolate. The finish is long and tantalizing yet smooth, with the kind of balance between flavor and proof that keeps you reaching for another pour. Bold and smooth at once, it works neat, over a large cube, or as the backbone of a serious Old Fashioned. Presented in a heavy squared decanter with a wood topped cork and copper foiled labeling, it makes a handsome gift for anyone who appreciates a well aged, well blended bourbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eABV \/ Proof\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eABV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45.5%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e91\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnited States\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBourbon Whiskey, Blend of Straight Bourbon Whiskies\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRelease\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e#2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBottled By\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRare Stash, Bardstown, Kentucky\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eComponent Whiskies\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.5 year (Char #4 white oak) and 7.5 year (Char #3 white oak)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSourcing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTennessee and Indiana straight bourbon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMashbill\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75% corn, 21% rye, 4% malted barley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm golden amber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich and slightly sweet, with vanilla, oak and caramel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full and immediate, with vanilla, butterscotch, oak and a hint of chocolate over a penetrating warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, smooth and tantalizing, with balanced sweetness and gentle heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat proof is Rare Stash Bourbon #2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is bottled at 45.5% ABV, which is 91 proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow old is the whiskey in Rare Stash #2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt blends an 8.5 year old and a 7.5 year old straight bourbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the mashbill?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth component bourbons share a mash bill of 75% corn, 21% rye and 4% malted barley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere is Rare Stash Bourbon made?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe straight bourbons are sourced from Tennessee and Indiana, then blended and bottled by Rare Stash in Bardstown, Kentucky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is #2 different from Rare Stash #3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelease #3 is a separate bottling: 100% Kentucky straight bourbon at 96 proof, blending 9 year and 5 year whiskies with a 78\/13\/9 mash bill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy Rare Stash Bourbon #2 online?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable here at Liquor On Broadway while stock lasts, with fast insured shipping nationwide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rare Stash","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49229608943871,"sku":null,"price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0234\/6401\/7997\/files\/rare-stash-bourbon-2-blend-of-straight-bourbon-whiskies-750ml-7795540.webp?v=1789676438","url":"https:\/\/www.liquoronbroadway.com\/products\/rare-stash-bourbon-2-blend-of-straight-bourbon-whiskies-750ml","provider":"Liquor On Broadway","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
