Wild Turkey Rare Breed Barrel Proof Bourbon is an uncut, unfiltered bourbon that offers the full intensity of Wild Turkey's rich, robust flavor straight from the barrel. Crafted by Master Distiller Eddie Russell, this bourbon is blended from barrels aged 6 to 12 years, creating a bold, complex whiskey that remains smooth despite its high proof. Known for its distinctive depth and character, Rare Breed represents Wild Turkey’s dedication to authentic bourbon making.
The bourbon pours a deep amber color and opens with a nose of caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak, balanced by notes of citrus and baking spices. On the palate, Rare Breed offers a powerful yet smooth experience, with flavors of rich caramel, toffee, and dark chocolate, accompanied by hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a touch of honey. The high proof (ranging between 112 and 116.8 depending on the batch) amplifies the bourbon’s complexity, but it remains remarkably balanced and approachable.
The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of sweet spice, charred oak, and a touch of black pepper. Wild Turkey Rare Breed Barrel Proof Bourbon is a bold, unapologetic whiskey, perfect for bourbon lovers who appreciate the full, unadulterated flavor of barrel-strength spirits.
