How do you make a blend of 6-, 8- and 12-year-old bourbons even better? By increasing the proof, giving the already rich and exceptional bourbon a bolder flavor. The new 116.8 Proof Wild Turkey® Rare Breed is barrel-proof, meaning it's uncut, bottled directly from the barrels at the proof it reached in those barrels. We like it so much, we gave it more proof and a new label to highlight its bold yet smooth appeal.
