Rare Stash

Two Bourbons walk into a bar, and out comes Rare Stash Bourbon #2.

Not all Bourbons are created equal. Dustin Poirier, the ex-UFC Lightweight Champion and rare liquid gem collector knows this fact all too well. The weather’s whims, the corn and grains' quality, the oak tree's pedigree for barrel carving — all of it comes together to imprint each batch with a distinct touch. To celebrate this diversity, Poirier co-founded Rare Stash, a company dedicated to blending rare, limited-edition batches of Bourbon that highlight their unique flavors. They don’t mess with mother nature — they let her call the shots. Their selection is crafted from the finest raw ingredients, yielding unparalleled and distinctive flavors. From their top-shelf distillation process that ensures the purest of pure distillates to their premium charred oak barrels, they take a backseat and let the rare, the natural, and the exceptional shine through.

Their Rare Stash Bourbon #2 is a lovechild of two Bourbons raised in different climates and barrels, resulting in an intense and well-rounded flavor profile. So let’s cover the stats. One of them is an 8.5-year-old, aged in char#4 white oak barrels at 124.6 proof, while the other is a 7.5-year-old aged in char#3 white oak barrels at 122 proof. It might sound complicated, but it’s like Yin-Yang — they just work. Brace yourself for a barrage of mouthwatering flavors from vanilla and butterscotch to orange zest and chocolate, all perfectly balanced by a warming sensation that lingers long after the sip is gone. No wonder it was crowned American Whisky of the Year 2022 by Bonfort's Top 100 Spirits.
