Crafted in one of the few distilleries to remain dedicated to the art of rye whiskey rare breed rye is a blend of non-chill filtered rye. It is barrel-proof meaning that it’s uncut bottled directly from the barrels at the proof it is reached in those barrels. It is sister to award-winning rare breed bourbon and the first permanent super-premium rye in the wild turkey family. Aroma: starts sweet with caramel apple up front followed by rich and complex layers of honey vanilla rye grain spice and charred oak underneath. Taste: sweet caramel and fruit at the start that gives way to a complex flavor of wood and rye spices. Finish: smooth and drawn-out where lingering spice flavors mingle with dried fruit and a pleasant fading warmth.
