Wild Turkey Rare Breed Rye Review

With Rare Breed you’re essentially getting special edition quality whiskey that’s easy-to-find and at a great price. Another example of “barely rye” (51 percent), the barrel proof strength still keeps it hot and spicy. It’s woody on the palate, caramel and vanilla with some Honey Nut Cheerios, and a long lingering baking spice note.
