Flavor Profile Differences
Proof and heat dominate the difference.
- Wild Turkey Rare Breed: Barrel-proof Wild Turkey at a price that still looks like a mistake. Everything the 101 does with considerably more force, and one of the most consistently praised bottles in its category.
- Yellowstone Select: A revived historic brand from Limestone Branch. Light and creamy, with toasted oak, vanilla and peach and a short, peppery finish. Part of the proceeds support Yellowstone National Park.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Go with Wild Turkey Rare Breed if you want barrel-proof spice and oak with a reputation to match, at half what comparable bottles cost.
- Go with Yellowstone Select if you want a light, creamy everyday sipper with a historic name at a slightly lower price point.
Best enjoyed neat, old-fashioned (Wild Turkey Rare Breed); rocks, highball, old-fashioned (Yellowstone Select).
