Cask Strength
Rare Character Brook Hill "Music City" (XMUSICXCITY) 15 Year Single Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey is a 15-year-old Kentucky straight rye bottled from a single cask at 115.5 proof (57.75% ABV), uncut and non-chill filtered. Released under Brook Hill — Rare Character's top-tier, black-label line — this barrel carries the codename XMUSICXCITY, a nod to Nashville. Barrel no. 3238. 750ml.
Brook Hill is the highest tier of the Rare Character Whiskey Company portfolio: a revived pre-Prohibition Kentucky brand name reserved for the oldest and most complex casks the team sources. Every Brook Hill release is a single barrel, bottled at full natural cask strength, and assigned a codename rather than a batch number. XMUSICXCITY places this barrel in Nashville's orbit — bold, expressive, unmistakably American rye.
Nose — Toasted rye bread, caramelized brown sugar, vanilla bean, candied orange peel, fresh coffee, cinnamon and clove, leather, tobacco leaf, roasted pecans, polished oak.
Palate — Butterscotch, toffee, vanilla custard, cracked black pepper, dark chocolate, espresso, dried cherries, orange zest, toasted walnut, mature oak. Full-bodied, with the proof carrying intensity without tipping into heat.
Finish — Long and warming. Charred oak, crushed mint, cocoa, leather, baking spice, sweet vanilla and citrus tea, with rye spice lingering.
A few drops of water open up additional dried fruit, creamy butterscotch and baking spice.
