Rare Character 9 Year DLW "Twilight Cask" Single Barrel Bourbon 750ml

Rare Character DLW 9 Year “Twilight Cask” Single Barrel Bourbon

Cask Strength | 114.5 Proof | 750ml

This Rare Character Single Barrel release highlights the balance and maturity that only extended aging in Kentucky rickhouses can provide. The DLW “Twilight Cask” is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon distilled in 2016 and bottled in 2025 after more than nine years in new charred oak.

The nose opens softly with brown sugar, vanilla, butterscotch, and seasoned oak, layered with light citrus zest, baking spice, and subtle rickhouse character. On the palate, the mouthfeel is rich and buttery, leading with vanilla, citrus, and a touch of black pepper before developing into caramel, oak, nutmeg, and roasted nut tones. As it continues, notes of dried cherry, honey, black tea, and butterscotch round out the experience.

The finish is medium in length and well composed, beginning with caramel, oak, and vanilla, then folding in citrus, tea, honey, and lingering oak. The barrel strength enhances depth and structure without overpowering balance, allowing each sip to remain consistent and expressive.

This is a mature, thoughtfully aged bourbon built for collectors and seasoned drinkers who appreciate layered flavor, restraint, and repeatable enjoyment at full proof.
