Wild Turkey Rare Breed Barrel Proof Bourbon!!

[@onggia850]

One of my favorite whiskey of all time. Flavorful, affordable, and readily available...hard to beat.

[@ScotchTestDummies]

thanks Ong Gia!

[@sundayeveningscotch4978]

Soooo damn good. Re: age - it's a blend of 6, 8, and 12 year old whiskies. I thing this would be so much better if NCF - but still, I'm a huge fan of the Wild Turkey profile, so this is probably more like a 91/92 for me. A choice Russel's Reserve Single Barrel pick would be well above that even. Great review, boys! Also - watching older reviews when doing re-reviews could be a funny thing to do sometimes! Maybe not every re-review, but that could be some funny content. Also Kyber crystals are from the lightsabers in Star Wars! There's an episode arc of rebels where they go harvest some and build sabers, pretty cool.

[@RareBird101]

Great info here!

[@ScotchTestDummies]

great comment thanks SES!

[@ScotchTestDummies]

yes there was!

[@QuayDawgg]

If they started to non chill filter the Rare Breed it would be flawless. Cheers dummies!

[@ScotchTestDummies]

that could be what dampens it a little bit.

[@QuayDawgg]

@@ScotchTestDummies It's the only reason why I believe the Russell's Reserve Single Barrel is the slightly superior product. Side by side they make a great paired tasting.

[@blackhemi04]

Well get ready because I just saw that the new Rare Breed Rye is NCF!

[@QuayDawgg]

@@blackhemi04 Nice! Thanks for the info friend.

Third day since opening my WTRB 116.8 proof, and it’s opening up nicely. At this point I would give my regular bottle of KC120 the nod, but the bottle-and-cork design of the Rare Breed is pretty much perfect. Pops open nicely and pours without a any dribble. 🦃 🥃👍🏼

[@ScotchTestDummies]

nice thanks Leo.

[@welshtoro3256]

I really like this new bottling of Rare Breed. I nearly always add water to high proof bourbon but I think this is better without. It's worth having a dram of something else before to get your palate ready. Here in the U.K it's easily available and reasonably priced - a Rare thing over here. All the best guys. Look after yourselves. WT

[@ScotchTestDummies]

thanks Welsh, take care too!

[@keithpetersen560]

I'm glad you reviewed this bottle. I bought this a couple weeks ago for $45 based on customers feedback. It does not drink like a 116 proof. I like it very much neat and had no reason to add water as it felt like 100 proof to me. I will add water just to see if the profile changes. Great review.

[@ScotchTestDummies]

nice, thanks Keith.

[@Richie.Z]

TEST IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT! Great review, Scott and Bart! I definitely need to finally try some Rare Breed after stalling for many years, so curious. Cheers brothers!

[@Ben_Demon_Hunter]

Second that, Richie Z!

[@sundayeveningscotch4978]

Yes you do my friend! Love dat Turkey.

[@ScotchTestDummies]

thanks Richie!

[@wildlifewhiskey3636]

one of my favorite bottles, love RB. I found a store that ( for some reason) sells it at 30. so I pick up a couple every time I go in there

[@ScotchTestDummies]

thats a great price!

[@mil02003]

$34.99 on sale in Idaho til 3/31. Bought 3. Total steal for a high proof solid whiskey

[@ScotchTestDummies]

that is a great price.

[@Ben_Demon_Hunter]

Come on.... DO IT! It'll be FUN! (Answering your question, at the end). Great Idea, Bart 👍🤠👍 Cheers! Dummies

i'm going to have to watch again now!

I can't believe I've been watching y'all this long. Cheers! I started watching Ralfy in 2010 and discovered y'all not long after y'all started. Thanks for the content.

[@ScotchTestDummies]

thank you Crump for hanging in there!

[@ChristmasOnCrestline]

An excellent comparison of this to the Knob Creek 12 year. Jean and I had the exact same thoughts! WE both vote in FAVOR of a Dummies watching Dummies episode.

[@ScotchTestDummies]

thanks Christmas!

[@WineLightMedia]

I totally agree that it’s neither rich or thick, however it’s got some Wild Turkey magic, that simply makes it one of the most enjoyable bourbons on the market in its price range. Wild Turkey just has a subtle uniqueness about it. Cheers.

[@ScotchTestDummies]

definitely, thanks Winelight!

[@KillCoMentalMusings]

I blame Chad and Sara for getting me hooked on Wild Turkey, I started with 101 and really liked it and then I got my hands on Rare Breed and good LAWD I wish I could have that in my collection forever!

[@ScotchTestDummies]

haha great comment,, thanks KillCo!

[@brianpage6932]

this is one of my fav's always have a bottle or 2 in the cabinet

[@ScotchTestDummies]

good call, thanks Brian.

[@FactMan8]

I usually dont like Bourbon much ( I am a rye guy) but this Bourbon is on my top 5 whiskey list now, best bourbon I have ever had. So damn good, opened my eyes to the greatness of Bourbon.

[@loganclemons4961]

I can get this for just a hair above $40 in my market and it is the absolute best value in bourbon as far as I’m concerned. Especially when I’m waiting on the next batch of ECBP to hit shelves, haha! It has a dedicated spot in my bar always! Thanks for the review!

[@ScotchTestDummies]

nothing wrong with that at all

[@billyhughes9776]

I love this stuff. Straight up or with a big ice ball. Mashbill -- 75% corn, 13% rye, 12% malted barley. You can get this in my area for around $45 which I think is a great price considering the high proof and deliciousness. Just watched the review ya'll did in 2015 -- it was the older version, 54.1% abv. Scott damn near drown his dram with water to start -- ha. Bart, you seemed to love it.

[@ScotchTestDummies]

we used to think anything over 43% was high proof!

[@jordanbenoit8222]

I originally didn’t check out the channel cause I am more of a bourbon guy and thought you guys only did Scotch! Dang I was wrong, great video. New subscriber, keep the great content coming! 👍🏻🥃

[@ScotchTestDummies]

Thanks Jordan! When we first started almost 7 years ago we were just scotch. After awhile we started doing bourbons too and have now done whiskey from all over the world!

[@anthonykaiser974]

I very rarely drink, but when i do its only rare breed, this is good tasting whiskey the best in my opinion...makes great cough syrup, mix with ginger, lemon juice & honey very good for coughs..& sweet does not describe this whiskey lol

Yall are going to have to review the new NCF Rare Breed Rye asap to compare it to this!

[@ScotchTestDummies]

have not seen this one!

[@justinmaizeblue]

How do you decide how many scotches vs bourbons and world whiskies you review? Do you try to keep a ratio?

[@ScotchTestDummies]

Saturday shows are World Whiskies, and Wednesday shows are North American Whiskies.

[@justinmaizeblue]

Scotch Test Dummies unsolicited advice, as the scotch test dummies, how about scotch once a week and world whiskies including American once a week?

[@johncannon3593]

By the way, Khyber is a pass in the mountains of Afghanistan. It is of historical significance, so you have probably heard the name Khyber Pass.

Rare breed in my opinion is really good. Your palate needs a sip or two to accept it but once your palate is warmed up wow I think its super enjoyable but not for a person new to sipping bourbon neat
