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.

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.
