Wild Turkey Rare Breed Bourbon 750 Ml

Rare Breed was first released in 1991. Since then, there have been over 10 batches released. The batches were once denoted by a batch number, but more recently only by a unique proof. Rare Breed is a blend of 6, 8, and 12-year-old bourbons, and though this blend of ages is not detailed on the label, it has been confirmed by Wild Turkey Brand Ambassador Matt Gandolfo in a Bourbon Pursuit podcast.
Wild Turkey uses a single mash bill for all of their bourbons and bottles Rare Breed at barrel proof. Wild Turkey’s barrel entry proof is relatively low at 107 to 115, up from 105 at one time, resulting in a low bottling proof by comparison to competitors’ barrel proof products.
Since its first release in 1991, the Rare Breed label design has changed three times, with a fourth label change registered on the TTB website. While the TTB label suggests the next batch will be 116.8 proof, this is subject to change.
