Tastes

Super easy drinking, almost dangerously so. Totally inoffensive. Nice summertime whiskey. A great intro scotch.

Im a wild turkey lover. 101 is my staple bourbon. But its getting harder and harder not to fork over the extra dough for a bottle of rare breed more often than i should. Its such a massive upgrade to the 101, and im someone who believes that the 101 is pound for pound the best bouron/dollar on the market. And even at its recenty higher price point (~$55 in my neck of the woods), Rare Breed holds its own as an excellent value even among barrel proof bottles that are +50% in relative price, and i would choose it over almost all of them on most days. It has the added advantage that you can find it just about anywhere. A legitimate contender among heavyweight bourbons, and bests them in all the value department.

This is delicious stuff. Im always hesitant to purchace anything under 45% ABV, but Michter’s consistently impresses with how much flavor it packs. Price point seems a bit high, but this is impressive nectar and a regular in my stock.

Haven’t had a bad Michter’s ever. A bit overpriced and I’d appreciate another 15 proof, but even at relatively low ABV this has amazing character. Delicious!
