Barrel No. F13-3575 | Proof 129.36 | Age 8 Years 3 Months | Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey | Cask Strength

When a bourbon hits the shelf that combines exclusivity, provenance, and serious flavor, you know the good folks at Five Star Liquor in Hot Springs have done their homework.
Today, they’re unveiling a store pick from Rare Character Whiskey Company that’s already generating buzz:
Barrel No. F13-3575 | Proof 129.36 | Age 8 Years 3 Months | Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey | Cask Strength
This single-barrel release is available today, and it’s one that collectors and enthusiasts alike will want to experience before it’s gone.
Rare Character Whiskey Company was founded in 2021 by Pablo Moix and Peter Nevenglosky.
Rather than being a traditional distillery, Rare Character is a non-distiller producer (NDP) that sources exceptional barrels from across the country — hand-selecting, finishing, and bottling them under its own label.
Their philosophy is simple: “One Barrel at a Time.”
Every release is designed to showcase the individuality of a single cask or small batch. The brand’s various series — Single Barrel, Native Wood, Finishing, and Limited RCLR — highlight the diversity and creativity behind each release.
From Kentucky classics to experimental finishes, Rare Character has become one of the most talked-about whiskey producers in America. Whisky Advocate recently called it “one of the hottest names in modern bourbon,” citing its transparency, creativity, and consistently high-quality selections.
Five Star Liquor’s latest store pick, Rare Character “The Supernova”, truly lives up to its cosmic name.
Drawn from Barrel F13-3575, this Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey was aged 8 years and 3 months before being bottled at a bold 129.36 proof, straight from the cask.
As a cask-strength release, this bourbon preserves the raw intensity of the barrel — no dilution, no chill-filtration, just pure flavor. Expect an explosion of rich caramel, toasted oak, and spice, balanced by deep vanilla and a warming Kentucky finish that lingers like starlight.
Every Rare Character barrel is unique, but “The Supernova” promises to be one of those rare picks that captures both strength and nuance — the kind of pour that defines why bourbon enthusiasts love the hunt.
This bottle is available now at Five Star Liquor in Hot Springs, Arkansas — but like most Rare Character releases, it won’t last long.
If you’re in the area, swing by and ask for Rare Character “The Supernova”. The staff can share more about this specific barrel’s selection and what makes it stand out from previous store picks.
Collectors will appreciate the barrel code and full transparency, while drinkers will love the depth, warmth, and personality inside the glass.
Rare Character has built its reputation by finding barrels with — well — rare character.
And The Supernova fits the mold perfectly: bold, high-proof, and full of personality. Whether you’re chasing flavor, proof, or collectability, this one’s a star worth catching before it burns out.
