These are two Wild Turkey Kentucky straight bourbons in different proof classes. Longbranch’s brand page language used calls it an 86-proof (43% ABV) small-batch bourbon refined with American oak and Texas mesquite charcoal, the product URL 500’d on a direct fetch, so confirm the neck. Rare Breed is a barrel-proof SKU; the number moves with the batch. A 1.5-ounce pour is 1.08 drinks at 43%. Do the math on Rare Breed from that neck.
