Small Batch Wild Turkey Rare Breed is a barrel proof whiskey, meaning no water is added during the bottling process. It is a marriage of Wild Turkey 6, 8 and 12 year old Bourbons aged in white oak barrels with a #4 alligator char. Rich oak notes on the nose give way to caramel, chocolate with hints of floral and fruit notes. Warm butterscotch and vanilla on the palette and a finish of fruit, spices and lingering caramel sweetness.
Rare breed, as the name suggests, is a unique bourbon experience. A marriage of Wild Turkey 6, 8 and 12 year olds, Rare Breed is ‘barrel proof’, meaning that it is bottled at barrel strength with no water added to lower the proof or dilute the flavour. Master Distiller, Jimmy Russell follows suit even after bottling – he keeps his Rare Breed in the freezer so he doesn’t have to add ice, which would melt and ultimately dilute the flavour!
