Wild Turkey Rare Breed Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey 70 cl, 58.4% ABV - Barrel Proof Bourbon

Product Information

For all of the sweet and creamy aspects of this bourbon up until this point, I do detect the tiniest bit of astringency. It’s still very well done though and there’s a ton to like about it. Score: 9.1/10

Wild Turkey Rare Breed brings a fresh and tasty twist to the Wild Turkey range. Its unique flavor comes from a special mash bill mix giving it an edge in the rye whiskey market. Outside of the once semi-regular Wild Turkey 101 12-year release, what was the first bona-fide super-premium Wild Turkey expression? You got it – Rare Breed.

This may seem odd, but technically this is legally considered barrel proof in the eyes of the TTB. You’re not allowed to dump the barrels into a vat and proof it down and call it that. The final way they could be getting a consistent proof is just lying about it and refusing to change the label. There aren’t many ways to enforce these mislabeling practices, so maybe they just don’t care. I’m not saying that’s the case though.

The nose of Wild Turkey Rare Breed presents a pleasing combination of oak, licorice, vanilla, slight caramel, orange peel, and rye. It offers a surprising sweetness compared to typical Wild Turkey expressions.

People gradually get used to them and the hype dies down. I bet sales numbers are good for the first year or so because everyone wants to try them. Wild Turkey Rare Breed (2018) – 116.8-proof KSBW – reportedly a blend of 6, 8, and 12-year, barrel-proof bourbon – distilled and bottled by the Wild Turkey Distilling Co., Lawrenceburg, KYExcerpt: All told I like it considerably less, though, again, water helps temper the beast a bit, helping the minty notes come forward more clearly. This unadulterated rye whiskey has a high alcohol content. Higher than their 101-rye whiskey. The rye is bottled at the proof it reaches in the barrel. This high proof means that the whiskey has a lot of flavor and character.
