Wild Turkey – Rare Breed Kentucky Straight Bourbon Barrel Proof (1990s) (54.2%)

Wild Turkey Rare Breed is a Kentucky straight bourbon bottled at barrel proof, 54.2% ABV, in a bottling from the 1990s. It is a deep amber with golden highlights. The nose combines vanilla and caramel with toasted oak, cinnamon and nutmeg, dried fruit and a touch of smoke. The palate is full-bodied, with dark caramel, honey and toffee alongside black pepper and a little clove, balancing oak richness with a warming character. The finish is long, with lasting spice and oak, a trace of sweetness and a slightly peppery kick.
