BLYnCRN

Wild Turkey Rare Breed (Old Label)

Bourbon — Kentucky, USA

Reviewed July 11, 2020
4.25
4.25 out of 5 stars
Its like Wild Turkey 81 (not 101) on steroids. Like 81, its limited to caramel, vanilla, and black pepper, but with a bit of sweet corn syrup and cooked ham not present in 81. But it’s all amped up to 10 in Rare Breed! The finish ads cloves and a nice tobacco bite with lots of dry charred oak that is very warming. Be careful though, it’s a strong one but is still smooth and easy drinking (like 81) so it can get you in over your head (literally) quickly - sip it slowly. It is excellent with ice also, but unfortunately ice makes it too syrupy, so if you like it cold, chill it in the fridge. However it doesn’t score as high as 101 because its missing the candied apples, cherry, and baking spices present in 101. It doesn’t have the richness and array of flavours present in 101.
