Details
Wild Turkey Rare Breed was first released in 1991 by master distiller Jimmy Russell as a blend of 6 to 12-year-old bourbons. All the bourbons use the signature Wild Turkey mash bill featuring a high rye content in addition to corn to create the perfect balance of sweetness and spice. Jimmy wanted to create an “uncompromised Kentucky bourbon” expression that was so pure that it was not even cut with water, bottled straight from the barrel at cask strength.
Wild Turkey Brand has a storied history that started with the Ripy brothers in 1942 who brought the brand to life with a signature recipe that dates back to 1869. As the story goes, the Wild Turkey name comes from when a senior distillery executive brought along a bottle of that signature recipe on a wild turkey hunting trip to share with his friends. In the years following his friends would ask every year if he could bring along a bottle of that delicious “Wild Turkey bourbon” from the previous trip. The name stuck and the rest, as they say, is history.

Tasting notes
Nose
Buttery brioche and toffee at first, then spice punches through featuring white pepper and nutmeg. Hints of sweet orange, fresh mint and grassy tobacco leaf keep spice notes grounded.
Taste
Rich, dark caramel bordering on bitter dark chocolate envelop the palate. Spice notes of chilli and ginger warm the mouth. A touch of char and herbaceousness develop at points too.
Finish
Minty freshness comes forward as your tongue dries out. Cut grass and brown sugar, without being sweet, linger. The finish extends for an eternity.
