Product Description

Wild Turkey Rare Breed Barrel Proof Bourbon is a cask-strength bourbon, meaning it is bottled directly from the barrel without being watered down. This expression is a blend of bourbon aged around 6, 8, and 12 years, offering a rich, intense flavor profile that showcases the depth of Wild Turkey’s distilling and aging process. With no water added, it is bottled at a high proof, providing an uncut, full-bodied bourbon experience.

Tasting Notes

Aroma:
In my tastings, the nose is rich with aromas of caramel and butterscotch, mingled with a deep oakiness. Spicy rye notes come through alongside subtle hints of brown sugar, vanilla, and a touch of citrus peel. The high proof gives it an inviting intensity, drawing you in with warmth.

Palate:
I find the palate to be bold and layered, starting with sweet notes of caramel and honey. As it develops, rich oak spice and peppery rye notes emerge, complemented by flavors of toasted nuts and dark chocolate. The intensity of the proof is well-integrated, delivering a smooth yet powerful drinking experience.

Finish:
The finish is long and warming, with lingering flavors of oak, brown sugar, and spice. The warmth from the proof persists but is well-balanced, leaving a lasting impression of oak and sweetness with a slight dryness from the tannins.
