Detailed Description
Wild Turkey Rare Breed Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is the true, bold spirit of Wild Turkey that has been captured in this authentic barrel proof whiskey, creating one of the finest bourbons in the world. Rare Breed is a “barrel-proof bourbon,” meaning it is bottled directly from a variety of barrels at the proof it reaches in those barrels, with no added water to lower the proof or dilute the flavor. This bourbon is a unique marriage of Wild Turkey 6, 8, and 12 year old stocks, which give the whiskey a rich, exceptional flavor that is remarkably smooth, considering its high alcohol content. Uncut with water, Wild Turkey Rare Breed is an uncompromised Kentucky bourbon with tones of sweet tobacco and hints of orange and mint, making it a remarkably smooth whiskey legend. Wild Turkey Rare Breed Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is made from a mash of approximately 75% corn, 13% rye and 12% malted barley, all of which are non-genetically modified. Once the grains have been harvested, they are milled and mashed with limestone-rich water drawn from the Kentucky River before being fermented and twice distilled.
