Uncommon Hare 1953, age 17 Playboy’s founding year is commemorated with Straight Bourbon. Before being bottled at 111 percent, the exquisitely mature 7-year-old straight bourbon was aged in XXO Cognac casks from the Champagne region of France. This unusual, limited-edition whiskey was made in just 1,953 bottles.

Notes on Tasting

With notes of clove, caramelized nectarine, and dried fruit, the nose is mature and delicious. Herbal, creamed corn, oak, and baking spice flavors abound on the medium-bodied tongue, which ends with a lengthy finish that lingers with nutmeg and caramel.
