This bottling of Wild Turkey has been aged for at least six years before coming out of the barrel at 109 proof. The whiskey is only diluted slightly before bottling at 101 proof with plenty of pep.
The nose is quite subdued, yet there remains a beautiful toffeyed sweetness. Notes of toasty oak and melted vanilla ice cream, a touch of zesty citrus and butterscotch. The palate is full and rich with notes of cigar box sweetness, pepper, caramel, or ‘carmel’ should I say? Notes of honey on granary toast with a little melted butter. The finish is long and rich with spice and toast notes.
Love it..a bourbon with balls that has the same qualities as the rest with spice....this is not Buffalo Trace...this isn't a gentlemans sippin' whisky, cut it with some soda and make it a great old fashion!
I love this bourbon. High quality ingredients and production process result in a great product that is quite affordable. It beats the pants off that blended crap others drink, such as Jameson, Johnnie Walker, and Bushmills.
A bit too hard-hitting. Little subtlety. As another user mentions, certainly not as good as Buffalo Trace.
It is what it is. A strong bourbon that euro water drinkers might not like because it has only seen one oak barrel. Not light by any means. I am wild turkey 101 is what it says when neat.
Raw power abounds but smooth as silk. Fine for sipping, neat or with a teaspoon of water. Big big bourbon taste. This is a must-try. And it's not even that expensive !! I love it.
