Crafted in one of the few distilleries to remain dedicated to the art of rye whiskey, Rare Breed Rye is a blend of non-chill filtered rye. It is barrel-proof, meaning that it's uncut, bottled directly from the barrels at the proof it is reached in those barrels. It is sister to award-winning Rare Breed Bourbon and the first permanent super-premium rye in the Wild Turkey family.

There's a first time for everything. From the first snowfall of the year to your first camping trip, there's something truly visceral, and dare we say, magical about the first time. Rendezvous Rye is our first whiskey and thus named after the "Rendezvous," the first recorded whiskey fest out west, and 1820's mountain man gathering in Wyoming and Utah's cache valley that turned whiskey into the first of endless possibilities. We blend Rendezvous from straight rye whiskeys with high rye mash bills that give it a unique botanical & spice character, with notes of honey, mint, molasses, and dried fruit for good measure. Rendezvous is not chill filtered, a unique choice that keeps its natural oils intact and allows for a full-bodied finish.
