Wild Turkey Rare Breed Barrel Proof 750 ml

Wild Turkey Rare Breed Barrel Proof Bourbon is an uncut, unapologetically bold expression of Kentucky craftsmanship. Blended from barrels aged 6, 8, and 12 years, this iconic bourbon is bottled at its natural strength. Capturing the pure, undiluted essence of the Wild Turkey distilling tradition.

Masterfully crafted by Jimmy and Eddie Russell, Rare Breed is the benchmark of balance and power. The high-rye mash bill provides vibrant spice and structure, while the extended aging in deeply charred American oak barrels (#4 “alligator char”) imparts layers of caramel, vanilla, and smoke. Bottled at 116.8 proof (58.4% ABV), this whiskey embodies the perfect intersection of richness, warmth, and authenticity.
