Wild Turkey Rare Breed Batch 116.8
116.8 proof NAS Bourbon Wild Turkey

Distinctive turkey character. Fruitiness on the nose with citrus notes—orange and lemon brightness. More ethanol present than lower-proof expressions but still refined.

Oak-forward with brighter notes than darker spirits. Fruitiness carries through. No leather detected. Crafted with barrels from different rick house positions—six, eight, and twelve—creating bright top notes, smoky sweetness from the bottom, and balanced middle.

Smooth barrel proof finish.

Overall Score
4.4 / 5
An exceptional barrel proof bourbon that skillfully balances bright citrus and fruit notes with rich oak and smoke through thoughtful barrel selection.
