Wild Turkey Rare Breed Batch 116.8
116.8 proof
NAS
Bourbon
Wild Turkey
Lawrenceburg, KY
Nose
Bright citrus notes (orange and lemon); fruitiness evident; more ethanol on the nose than the Decades but still recognizable as Wild Turkey; oak present
Palate
Brighter profile than darker expressions; oak comes through beautifully; fruitiness from barrel-proof crafting using six, eight, and twelve-year bourbons from top, middle, and bottom of rickhouse
Finish
Clean and well-crafted finish
Really good
An exceptional barrel-proof bourbon with bright citrus notes and masterful flavor balance achieved through Jimmy Russell's skilled blending of barrels from different rickhouse positions.
