HOW WE MAKE OUR
RARE BREED RYE

As one of the few American distilleries to remain dedicated to the art of rye whiskey making, Wild Turkey Distillery’s Rare Breed Rye is the real deal, uncut and non-chill filtered. This barrel-proof, rye is bottled directly from the barrels at the 112.2 proof it reaches in those barrels. It is sister to award-winning Rare Breed Bourbon and the first permanent super-premium rye in the Wild Turkey family.
