bourbon was my go-to in my younger years (JD and JB) when i wanted to drink, but they didnt give me any enjoyment so i branched out to scotch. then recently, i bought a bottle of this due to its' high abv - i was intrigued. boy did it not disappoint. on the nose i got caramel and vanilla as well as the taste. the sweetness was not overwhelming. its has a really nice balance to it. im down to 1/4 bottle but will definitely buy another once finished.

I suppose I can understand why some people prefer 101 as it has a more typical bourbon flavour. The Rare Breed however has a touch of the aromatic about it, even a perfume like taste. Still it really delivers a treat to the palate once you get used to it.

This is a huge! Drinking it neat was slightly overwhelming for my palette. I watered it down incrementally until I got to the sweet spot. It's no joke. I've had cask strength before but this is a beast. This is juiced to the gills at nearly 60% ABV. I get a tonne of vanilla and caramel and a very long finish.

Smooth and perfect taste double shot lots of ice dash of coke the best

Smooth and delicious, always consistent. Neat or mixed

When it comes to American whiskey's I prefer bourbons & at over 50% this has to be the smoothest I've tried, esp served neat.
