Wild Turkey Rare Breed Barrel Proof Rye Whiskey

Crafted in one of the few distilleries to remain dedicated to the art of rye whiskey, Rare Breed Rye is a blend of non-chill filtered rye. It is barrel-proof, meaning that it’s uncut, bottled directly from the barrels at the proof it is reached in those barrels.

This one was the #2 Whiskey of the Year in 2020. This is one of the best bottles Wild Turkey makes, in my opinion. It’s a 112.2 Barrel-proof blend — a 4-year, 6-year and 8-year-old Kentucky Straight Rye mix that sings.  It starts off strong with caramel apple notes up front, followed by rich and complex layers of honey, vanilla, rye grain spice, and campfire. A great finish with an aftertaste that keeps you coming back for more.
