Wild Turkey Rare Breed — Authentic Barrel Proof Whiskey
I recently sampled the Wild Turkey Rare Breed for my first time and I was impressed. This year, the authentic barrel proof whiskey went up to 116.8 proof and I was blown away how this spirit can both pack a bite and be incredibly smooth. The Rare Breed won a Double Gold Medal at the 2016 San Francisco Spirits Competition, the most prestigious bourbon and spirits competition in the world. At $45, this is an upper tier spirit that won’t break the bank.
In the glass, you see a deep and dark caramel color. There are tasting notes of caramel, vanilla, citrus, cinnamon, rye, honey, and more. The nose has some nutmeg and mint, along with caramel and vanilla. If you are looking for a new spirit to sample this weekend, consider trying out the Wild Turkey Rare Breed.
