Other than Knob Creek Store picks (120 proof), I don't think there's a better value in the bourbon world than Rare Breed. In the $50 price range, it's the easiest rebuy on the shelf. I've always thought that Rare Breed tastes more like a Bourye, which is deceiving with only 13% rye in the mash bill, but that's the beauty of this bottle - complex yet approachable enough that you reach for it over and over again. To add to the complexity, each batch and proof is different, but not so much that you won't find that home-run familiarity in each bottle. I think you have to at least like the rye-ish presence and spice on the palate and back end of a bourbon to think this is something special, and I do!
