Let it rest in the glass before sipping, since a whiskey at this proof can reveal more sweetness and depth with a little time. A few drops of water can help widen the aromatics and soften the structure while still keeping the whiskey’s intensity intact. This is also a strong bottle for side-by-side tasting with lower-proof Rare Character releases if you want to explore how much the higher proof changes the overall experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2687\" data-end=\"2717\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2687\" data-end=\"2717\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2719\" data-end=\"2966\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2719\" data-end=\"2801\"\u003e1.
