Introducing Wild Turkey Rare Breed Barrel Proof Rye, a remarkable ode to the illustrious heritage of American whiskey. This bold expression is a blend of meticulously selected four-, six-, and eight-year-old Kentucky straight rye whiskies, bottled at an unapologetic 112.2 proof. As a testament to the Wild Turkey distillery's commitment to traditional craftsmanship, this rye whiskey is non-chill filtered, ensuring that each bottle captures the full spectrum of flavor and character, unadulterated by the dilution of chill-filtering.
At the core of this whiskey lies a mash bill of 51% rye, 37% corn, and 12% malted barley, creating a profile that is rich, robust, and intriguing. The marriage of these carefully aged whiskies results in a complex flavor journey that whiskey aficionados will relish. With its origins steeped in a storied legacy, Wild Turkey continues to honor the art of rye whiskey making, producing expressions that are not only bold but also deeply satisfying to the palate.
