The 112.8 proof batch sits within the range that Rare Breed occupied for many years before proof points began climbing in later releases. The blend of 6, 8, and 12-year barrels from Jimmy Russell's selection provides both youthful vibrancy and mature depth — the 12-year component contributing the dark caramel, leather, and seasoned oak that define the collectible Wild Turkey dusty profile. Uncut and non-chill filtered means the full natural texture and flavor concentration of the barrel is preserved without dilution or cold-stripping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Burnt brown sugar, orange peel, leather, cinnamon, and charred oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caramel, toffee, honey, roasted nuts, dark fruit, and peppery rye spice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and warming — vanilla, tobacco, and sweet Kentucky spice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wild Turkey Distillery, Lawrenceburg, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon — Barrel Proof, Uncut, Non-Chill Filtered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlend:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6, 8, and 12-year barrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 56.4% (112.8 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/american-whiskey\"\u003eAmerican whiskey at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How does the 112.8 proof batch differ from newer Rare Breed releases?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The 112.8 proof batch is from an older era of Rare Breed production and is often described as softer, darker, and more mature than later higher-proof releases.
