Process & Profile

Rare Hare Lucky Bastard 30 Year Single Barrel Canadian Whiskey is an ultra-aged Canadian whisky created from exceptionally mature 30-year-old stocks. After three decades of maturation, the whisky receives an additional 120-day finish in Pineau des Charentes casks from Maritime France. These specialty casks previously held the regional French aperitif made from grape juice and Cognac eau-de-vie, adding bright fruit and floral sweetness to the mature whisky's oak-driven character. Bottled at 44.5% ABV (89 proof), Lucky Bastard balances remarkable age with notes of toasted coconut, stone fruit, green grape, apple, honey, rye spice, and lingering sweetness.
