Process & Profile

Rare Character "The Barrel Tap" Single Barrel Select DYM-310 137.88 Proof Bourbon is an 11-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon personally selected by The Barrel Tap. Produced from a mash bill of 74% corn, 18% rye, and 8% malted barley, this DYM-series barrel was distilled and aged in Kentucky in an ISC Char No. 4 oak barrel.

Bottled from one barrel at its full 137.88-proof cask strength, DYM-310 delivers the mature oak, dark sweetness, fruit, spice, tobacco, and leather characteristics that distinguish Rare Character’s older DYM barrels. The 18% rye content contributes baking spice and structure while allowing caramel, vanilla, cherry, and brown sugar flavors to remain prominent.

How to Enjoy

Rare Character "The Barrel Tap" Single Barrel Select DYM-310 137.88 Proof Bourbon is best approached neat after resting in the glass for several minutes. This allows the initial cask-strength intensity to settle while opening layers of cherry, maple, vanilla, tobacco, leather, and mature oak.

A few drops of water can reveal additional fruit and buttercream sweetness while softening the 137.88-proof heat. A large ice cube offers gradual dilution, but this limited single barrel is especially suited to slow sipping and side-by-side tasting with other well-aged Kentucky bourbons.
