Rare Breed is a blend of 6, 8, and 12-year Wild Turkey bourbon, bottled at barrel proof without dilution or chill filtration. In an era when barrel-proof offerings were far less common than today, this is a historically significant expression — and the 375ml half-bottle format from this early run adds further collectible appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Classic Wild Turkey rye spice, caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, dried fruit\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bold and full-bodied — corn sweetness, cinnamon, charred oak, brown sugar, peppery signature rye\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and warming with lingering spice and a clean fade\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wild Turkey Distillery, Lawrenceburg, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Barrel Proof, non-chill filtered\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rare Breed\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBatch Code:\u003c\/strong\u003e W-T-03-94 (Batch 3, 1994)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBlend:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6, 8, and 12 Year Wild Turkey bourbon\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 109.6 (54.8% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 375ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bourbon\"\u003ebourbon at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat does the batch code \"W-T-03-94\" mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"W-T\" designates Wild Turkey; \"03\" is the batch number within the year; \"94\" is the production year — 1994.
