Rare Character Brook Hill 14 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey Batch Pulled Together
143.62 proof (71.81% ABV) | 750mL | 14 years | Kentucky straight bourbon | "Pulled Together" release — Rare Character Brook Hill 14 Year Old "Pulled Together" is cask-strength bourbon at true hazmat strength: 143.62 proof, the highest-proof Brook Hill release on record. Brook Hill revives a pre-Prohibition Kentucky whiskey brand name — originally founded by Joseph L. Friedman and operated during Prohibition — and Rare Character bottles these contemporary releases uncut, exactly as the barrel gave them up.
At nearly 72% ABV, this is collector-grade whiskey built for proof chasers: expect the Brook Hill line's characteristic profile dialed to maximum — warm vanilla, bright caramel, creamy butterscotch, and toasted oak, wrapped around baking spices (cinnamon, nutmeg), leather, tobacco, dark fruit, and honeyed oak. Rare Character, the Louisville-area independent bottler behind the line, releases Brook Hill in small named batches — "Pulled Together" joins siblings like "Scarlet," "Music City," and "Primario." An American whiskey for the serious shelf — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.

Frequently asked questions
What does "Pulled Together" mean?
It's the named release within Rare Character's Brook Hill line — small batches each carry a name ("Pulled Together," "Scarlet," "Music City," and others), distinguishing one limited release from the next.
Where does Brook Hill bourbon come from?
Rare Character does not publish the source distillery or mash bill for Brook Hill releases. Third-party speculation exists but is unverified — treat it as Kentucky straight bourbon on the label's own terms.
Is 143.62 proof safe to drink neat?
It's legal and drinkable, but hazmat-proof whiskey is best approached with water added gradually — the flavor opens up dramatically with dilution.
