Wild Turkey "Rare Breed" Small Batch Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
90
Whisky Advocate
Cotton candy, marshmallows roasting over an open campfire, baked apples, and cornbread batter start a whiskey that then offers hints of caramel apples, pumpkin pie, and roasted pecans. Water opens it up to more nuanced fruit, spice, and sweetness. Without water, brown-sugar butter dominates about mid-palate and leads to a long finish. Dilution makes this a completely different whiskey experience. (FM, fall 2017)

Notes
Wild Turkey Rare Breed is a high-proof marriage of casks that brings more power and spice than some of the other more mellow WT expressions. It's woodier, with more of the charred oak influence, but it handles that oak quite well. The finish leans more toward the herbaceous, but if you hang on until the end, there's a lovely toffee and caramel note that sings a late swan song. Very fun whiskey that goes down way too easily.
