Rare Hare 7 Year Old Bourbon Finished with French Oak Staves

Rare Hare’s 7-Year Blended Bourbon Whiskey is the embodiment of meticulous craftsmanship and global inspiration.

This blend begins with a Kentucky Straight Bourbon, aged for no less than seven years in charred new American oak barrels, laying down a foundation of bold, classic bourbon character. The finishing process sets it apart—using toasted French oak staves, a technique inspired by fine European spirits, we introduce a layer of complexity that elevates the whiskey’s precision. By carefully adjusting the surface contact and toast level, we draw out nuanced flavors without overwhelming with tannins. 

The result is a harmonious balance of American tradition and European finesse, crafted for those who appreciate a spirit shaped by worldly techniques.
