bluesbassdad Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 Quoting from the Wild Turkey web site :"Jimmy Russell keeps his Rare Breed in the freezer so he doesn't have to add ice, which would melt and ultimately dilute the flavor."Has anyone tried this?Yours truly,Dave Morefield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyc Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 I have . it works great stuff doesn't freeze, Well not completely I think an 80 proof would get a little slushy. It also has a way of making an unpaletteable drink go down good. I think I read in past posts that it is because the cold numbs some of the taste buds or some such.

cowdery Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 I've tried it and didn't care for it. Taste got a little too sharp. Reminded me of pencil shavings. Not good. Freezing is good for vodka, Jaegermeister and Dutch gin, but not bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratcheer Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 I keep London gin and (if I ever drink it, which is rare) Russian vodka in the freezer, but I've never tried it with bourbon. I had read that quote several months ago, but I'm not sure why the idea didn't appeal to me.I guess I'm a wimp. Rare Breed is one of my top two and I occasionally drink it straight, but I usually prefer about three ounces over about seven ice cubes.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
