Wild Turkey Rare Breed WT-01-95
Wild Turkey Rare Breed WT-01-95 — the 1995 batch designation of Wild Turkey's barrel-proof small batch expression, one of the earliest Rare Breed releases produced before the brand's current naming convention. WT-01-95 identifies this as the first batch of 1995 production, from an era when Rare Breed was less widely known and more accessible than current allocated releases.
Wild Turkey Rare Breed was introduced in 1991 as a barrel-proof blend of Wild Turkey's 6, 8, and 12-year Kentucky straight bourbon inventory — uncut, unfiltered, presenting the full concentrated character of the high-rye Wild Turkey house style without dilution. The WT-01-95 batch code predates the current era of label design and naming, making it a vintage production document from the foundational years of one of American whiskey's most enduring barrel-proof programs.
The 1995 production batch at natural proof is now 30 years removed from bottling — a time capsule of Wild Turkey barrel-proof character from the era before Rare Breed achieved its current collector status.
