Wild Turkey Rare Breed Barrel Proof Bourbon

Nose: mostly caramel apples, Cinnamon, has the classic Wild Turkey “farmhouse table dinner spread” thing Palette: honey, cinnamon, caramel sweetness, a little spicy, proof reads Backend/finish is pretty long, has some Cinnamon Toast Crunch and more crisp green apple. This is really tasty and nice. The barrel proof makes it a more exquisite experience. As someone with less of a budget, it might be a little overpriced at 50 for the bottle. But I do love the Wild Turkey profile and what it’s bringing here

Quite spicy. Strong vanilla. Some toasted coconut. Boozy sharpness on the tongue, but finishes smooth.

I was initially hit with some cinnamon, black pepper, and orange peel. The barrel proof adds some heat that lingers, but it isn’t unpleasant. A little bit is water brings out vanilla and black cherry notes and subdues the heat a bit.

Fantastic. Very strong on the nose but smooth on the palate.

Always a good choice. My shelf feels naked without Rare Breed. A little cinnamon heat up front that fades into sweet caramel toffee and vanilla. There’s citrus in there but it’s perhaps a bit muted. Cherry and char. Fruity smoke with a slight minty quality. It’s one of my favorites and it’s an insane value. Bourbon like this should be impossible to find on shelves all the time! 🥃
