All tasting observations are Jennings’s evaluations. Rare Breed 116.8 is the 2017–19 batch described, not a universal proof. NAS reported ranges are not legal age statements. The literature note indexes each profile separately.

Jennings compares WT101, WT81, Kentucky Spirit, Rare Breed, Russell’s Reserve 10, Russell’s Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon, and Longbranch. Each profile supplies proof and sensory observations, with qualified reported ages for NAS bottles. Kentucky Spirit and Russell’s Reserve single barrels differ in proof, filtration and intended profile; barrel variation remains important.

Seven core bourbon profiles
Verified against supplied PDF as an attributed account; verification does not establish the external truth of every source claim. Fresh audit: reported NAS age ranges are not youngest-age guarantees. Selection, filtration and proof confound comparisons. The youngest component need not be the weakest sensory component. Longbranch smoke expectations are a testable suggestion, not measured causation.
