Wild Turkey Rare Breed Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey

Bold and untamed, Wild Turkey Rare Breed Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey bursts into your glass at a powerful 112.2 proof. Crafted in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, it's uncut and unchill-filtered—a pure expression of barrel-strength rye that dares you to dive in. A carefully calibrated blend of 4-, 6-, and 8-year whiskeys delivers lush layers: bright spice, rich caramel, cinnamon, cedar, and mint dancing together with oak and fruit. It’s smooth yet assertive, balanced yet brimming with character. You’ll sense tradition in every drop and innovation in every nuance. Whether neat or on the rocks, this rye commands attention—complex, charismatic, and utterly unforgettable.

Nose: Mint, caramel apple, honey, and warm spice mingle with cedar and vanilla undercurrents.

Palate: Oily and vivid. Rye spice surges with caramel drizzle, ginger, citrus zest, and lingering herbal mint.

Finish: Long, warming, and layered—black pepper, burnt wood, dried fruit, and a whisper of clove.

Pair this bold rye with smoked Gouda or sharp cheddar to echo its spice. Roasted duck with orange glaze brings out its citrus zest. Dark chocolate deepens its oak and caramel. Feeling casual? Try spiced nuts or peppery beef jerky to meet its warmth head-on.
