Wild Turkey Rare Breed Batch WT-03RB 108.2 Proof

Wild Turkey Rare Breed Batch WT-03RB at 108.2 proof is one of the most legendary and longest-running batches in the Rare Breed lineup — produced from 2004 through 2013 and highly regarded by collectors for its consistent profile, old-school Wild Turkey character, and the dusty, mature oak complexity that defined barrel proof bourbon before the allocated era drove proof points higher.

WT-03RB was the standard Rare Breed batch for nearly a decade — longer than any other single designation in the line. Distilled from 6, 8, and 12-year-old Wild Turkey bourbons, the 108.2 proof is lower than more recent Rare Breed batches, and collectors consistently describe it as softer, darker, and more mature — the 12-year component providing a depth of seasoned oak, leather, and toffee that younger barrel-heavy blends don't replicate. The slightly lower proof makes it more approachable than higher-proof modern releases while still delivering remarkable flavor concentration. Original bottles with the classic Wild Turkey label and WT-03RB batch designation are now actively sought-after collector's targets.
