Wild Turkey Rare Breed 1L
This is the bourbon you pour when you want the volume turned up. Rare Breed lands at a hefty 54.1%, bottled straight from the barrel with nothing watered down, so the vanilla, honey and toffee hit you full and warm before that famous Wild Turkey rye spice rolls in. It's a sipper, a slow-the-night-down whisky for after the nyama choma is cleared and the good chairs come out. Big, rich, and it earns every minute you give it.
The nose is all cosy bakery: warm vanilla, caramel, a hit of cinnamon and roasted nuts. Then you sip and it's robust and full, honey and toffee up front, a layer of oak underneath, and a proper kick of peppery rye spice that fans out into a long, warming finish. It's bold because nothing's been diluted, but it never tastes harsh. A few drops of water cracks it wide open and softens the heat if you want it gentler.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Wild Turkey is made in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, by the Russell family, Jimmy and his son Eddie, two of the most respected distillers in bourbon. Rare Breed is their barrel-proof showpiece: a small-batch marriage of 6, 8 and 12-year-old bourbons, bottled non-chill filtered so all the flavour and texture stays in. The Russells barrel their whiskey at a lower strength than most rivals, which keeps more of the original spirit's character right through to your glass.
