Bourbon drinkers Rare breed?

[glued2it]

I got this "Wild turkey Rare breed" Gift set for my B-Day.
I have never heard of this before or just didn't notice it.
When I buy turkey, I just look for the 101 label and go.


Should I drink it (I really want to) or should I save it?


Details;
It's 108 proof. A barrel-proof bourbon ( bottled directly from a variety of barrels at the proof it reaches in those barrels, with no added water to lower the proof or dilute the flavor) that marries 6-, 8- and 12 year old stocks.

It sounds like something you might want to share with some good friends who would appreciate it. I might save it long enough to get them all together.

Agreed!

Was that a SMF gathering hint?

Hey Glued,
That's some fine sipping whiskey. Just pour over ice and enjoy!

I'm not sure I could wait, or I might be mighty picky about which friends I invite! That's some good stuff!!!

Take care, have fun, and do good!

Regards,

OUCH!!!! Isn't sipping whiskey "on the rocks" kinda like using Shop Rite brand briquettes to smoke with?? Sippin' whiskey should be sipped without the outside influences of frozen water (in my opinion!).

As a fine whiskey sipper, ice as it melts brings out the distinct flavors of the whiskey. Definitely pour over ice.

LOL! Yeah, if that ain't a hint I don't know what is

I usually go with maybe 2 cubes, so's not to dilute it too much. But I do like the mild chill ice gives.

And Rare Breed isn't all that 'rare" but it's a good bottle, and not inexpensive either. Never seen a wood box package tho. But then again, I don't usually look for Turkey, altho I do like it. Enjoy with good company!

If you like Wild Turkey's products, give their "Russell's Reserve" a try. Aged 10 years, and another 101 proof spirit if memory serves me. Good stuff. Smooth, with a really nice faint sweet finish.
