Rare Breed is like having even more joy than WT 101. Given that, WT 101 is the perfect balance of neat-drinking strength, "oakiness" and smoothness, this just allows for letting that greatness happen even better. This beats nearly all other barrel-strength bourbons -- yep!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At this point most people know if you could only have one bottle of bourbon for the rest of your life most will say "give me a rare breed". This bottle is perfect in almost every way. Price point, flavor profile, proof point, availability, amd complex tasting notes. Its a celebration of bourbon that you can find year round.

WT RB, if you could distill America into barrel proof bourbon this is it! Classic Turkey funk, pitted & stone fruits, clove, baking spice & all that’s nice. All the sweet flavors of charred pristine new white oak filled with that sweet Ky spring water nectar from the masters of the craft the Russel’s. Caramel, hints of butterscotch, nice viscosity & mouth feel.

This has become my go to bourbon. Always have one open and ready with backup bottles on hand. Cask strength, drinks below its proof, usually readily available, comparatively affordable, rich, delicious, and extremely satisfying. I drink a lot of different bourbons and I wouldn’t say this is the best I’ve ever tasted but it’s a top 5 or maybe even a top 3 in my opinion.

The proof on this one makes it magical, but even more important is its available at most stores...unlike many other quality bourbons. Great for sipping neat and not super expensive enough to break the bank if this becomes your weekend sipper or special occasion pour.

This is my go to bourbon. I have spent years trying different brands and different products within brands. This in my opinion is the best out there. For me, it is smooth and just the right amount of spice. No harshness. This will always be in my cabinet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For the price and availability of Wild Turkey Rare Breed, it's pretty tough to beat this great bottle. From the hint of spice to the caramel, maple sugar sweetness, and being 116.8 proof, it combines to make for a delicious pour.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I buy more expensive bottles and take a sip and this bottle comes to mind you can't beat it, even if it loses to it by a tiny margin. Take Russel single barrels they are a more refine pour than Wild Turkey, but hands this is a better value, and sometimes I prefer the bustier profile I get from Wild Turkey

If you like higher octane bourbon, then Rare Breed is a must try. It has that Wild Turkey 101 foundation, but a little more complex. It is definitely "a little bit of edge, a little bit of pain". If you can do it neat, then more power to you. I like a small ice cube in mine. For me, this is not a cocktail bourbon. Respect it and drink it straight.

There is hardly a better bottle for the price you will ever find. Rare Breed has been my daily supper for years with all the classic Wild Turkey notes you love but in a softer and carefully curated fashion. It is a classic bourbon with unique peppery character that stands at a proof point that is great on a cube, neat or mixed as part of a spirit forward cocktail.
