Bottled at a robust 116.8 proof (varies by batch), this expression delivers a powerful yet balanced experience. On the nose, it bursts with rich aromas of caramel, toasted oak, vanilla, and a hint of baking spices, inviting you in with its warmth and complexity.
The palate is where Rare Breed truly shines. It’s a full-bodied, layered whiskey with flavors of dark honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a touch of dried fruit. The high proof is masterfully integrated, providing a satisfying heat without overwhelming the senses. The mouthfeel is lush and oily, coating the palate with a luxurious texture. The finish is long and warming, leaving behind lingering notes of oak, pepper, and a touch of sweetness.
