Rare Breed Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey 70 cl, 58.4 Pour cent ABV - Barrel Proof Bourbon - complete with Gift Box

This is one of the best Bourbon's I've had. It's smoothness belies it's strength, being surprisingly easy to drink neat. It's packed full of classic bourbon flavours without any of them being too overpowering. If it's on sale it's great value as a little goes a long way.

Rare Breed is one of those bottles that reminds you why Wild Turkey has such a cult following. First pour hits you with that “yep, this is barrel proof” punch on the nose — caramel, spice, a bit of orange peel, and that classic Turkey funk lurking underneath. At 58.4%, you expect it to blow your eyebrows off, but it’s way more balanced than it has any right to be. First sip… warm rush straight away, but not harsh. Sweetness comes in fast — dark caramel, a bit of honey, then it flips into spice and toasted oak. There’s a chewy, full-bodied feel to it that makes you slow down without thinking about it. Add a couple drops of water and it opens up even more: more vanilla, more citrus, more of that Wild Turkey depth. The finish? Long. Like long. Peppery oak, a bit of tobacco, then this lingering sweetness that keeps you going back for another sip even though you promised yourself you’d “only pour a small one tonight.” What makes it ridiculous is the price. Barrel proof bourbon that tastes like this usually sits way higher. For around £55 — in a gift box, no less — it’s honestly one of the best-value high-proof bourbons you can get in the UK. If you like big flavour, proper heat, and a bottle that doesn’t mess about, Rare Breed is always a winner. One of those bourbons that never disappoints.

I bought this over a year ago to celebrate my forthcoming 60th birthday. I caught covid a few days before my birthday but no way was I waiting any longer to try it, sadly my taste and smell had almost gone. So here we are a few days later covid free and though my taste and smell is not fully back to normal I can actually appreciate this wonderful bourbon. It would be unfair to judge the nose but the taste is intensely flavourful I had to add a few drops of water because of the high abv. Left to stand for at least 20mins and I was rewarded with the finest bourbon I have tried. It has a wonderful mouth feel and the taste is like Wild Turkey 101 ramped up to a completely different level. Is it worth the difference in price, absolutely. Whilst 101 is a fine bourbon the Rare Breed is worth it for that special treat, just hope I can make it last.

This is a really cracking whiskey. something a bit different to my collection. so rich and brings flavors of wood and dark chocolate. really enjoyable, and will put a few hairs on your chest at 58.4% ABV

Has a punch that will catch you off guard if you're not used to it but the bang for your buck is 100%. One bottle lasted me several years and not in a bad way.

This bourbon is expensive to buy but worth it. There is a lovely Smokey taste and when swilled a warm feeling.

As someone who's been happy with std Jack Daniels for ever, I've just had a whisky awakening. Not knowing what to expect when ordering my bottle of Wild Turkey Rare Breed, I took a chance, and wow; I'm completely clueless about whisky, but this stuff is fantastic, both neat or with a tablespoon of water, preferably filtered water. If you find yourself on the fence about buying a bottle, I guarantee you won't regret it, or maybe you will, but only because you didn't try it earlier.

Very nice barrel strength bourbon, in my opinion a step up from the 101 variation. Not for the faint hearted due to it's 56.4% vol from no watering down (as per standard manufacturing methods). Despite it's high alcohol contents, it is smooth sipping drink and goes down without burning, just a nice warm feeling. Rich, full flavoured texture, with a slight sweet and spicy aftertaste of fruit without being overpowering/sickly. Would certainly recommend as a drink but four stars given based on often higher than others price I hope this review helped you. If so, I would appreciate it if you clicked on the Yes button for a helpful review. If you have any questions, please ask. I am pretty responsive to comments

タイトルの通りですが美味しいです！ 自分は加水して40度のウイスキーと同じ飲み方をしてますがハニーマスタード系とかアイスとかには合わせやすいです！ あとはスパイス系とか… おすすめです！

Parfait. Le breuvage rare. Mais livraison très lente d'autant que la société de livraison a eu des 'soucis'

Il prodotto è notevole ed è arrivato in largo anticipo rispetto alla data prevista (un solo giorno per la consegna)

me lo recomendó un amigo canadiense y nos ha convencido bastante

Gutes Aroma, mild , trotz hoher Prozente .
