Flavor Profile Differences

The gap between these two is mostly about spice.

  • 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.
  • Zackariah Harris: A bottom-shelf Kentucky straight bourbon, mostly sold in liters and handles. Simple caramel and oak with a short, warm finish.

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 with the texture that comes from skipping chill filtration.
  • Go with Zackariah Harris if you want a simple Kentucky bourbon for mixing at a significantly lower price point.
