Wild Turkey Rare Breed Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Rare Breed Barrel Proof Bourbon was first released in 1991. Since then, there have only been 10 releases. So now you understand why it’s called “Rare Bird.” Let’s cut right to the specs. Don’t worry that there is no age statement. All the experts agree that this powerhouse Bourbon combines six, eight, and twelve-year-old top-end products. The mash bill is 75% corn, 13% rye, and 12% malted barley. And it’s bottled at cask strength! We’ve tasted it straight up, but this monster was made to stand up to ice and a splash of water and teach it who’s boss.

Appearance: Mahogany red
Nose: Bold and powerful with oak and black pepper. Water opens up vanilla, toffee, and honeysuckle
Taste: Served neat, it’s spicy like a Rye. But a little water and it blooms with sweetness, orange, and tobacco
Finish: Long, strong, and complex
