Wild Turkey Rare Breed Barrel Proof Bourbon

So complex! Buttery smooth with a plethora of surprising notes that transform the tasting experience.

Charred oak and plenty of heat!

I’ll admit I’ve never been a huge fan of WT 101 Bourbon (even though I do like Russell’s Reserve and especially the WT 101 Rye.) “Rare Breed” seems to hit the high rye sweet-spot in the Turkey lineup, with a layered, dense flavor profile that’ll knock your socks off! Subtle it’s not, but I’m not sure there’s anything else out there at this proof that gives SO MUCH for the buck. A cube really opens up all it has to offer. This is really a top-shelf pour that’s readily available in-store, at a price that’s truly “mid-shelf”! It belongs in your collection—just leave one for me, please!!

Vanilla Carmel and spice is in abundance off the nose with a beautiful smooth sweet finish !

Simple nose of cinnamon, orange zest, and leather. But complex palate of Carmel, Vanilla, Spearmint, citrus zest, sweet oak spice, barrel char, tobacco and vanilla icing with cherry pie filling coming in and out. Really enjoy the sweet tobacco tones in the finish. It’s spicy and prickly and although there are Wild Turkey products that are more nuanced and yet balanced. I enjoy this bold and unrefined feel of this whiskey as it brings some unique flavors to the mix. It’s a bit of a thinker but I have enjoyed the ride.
