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.
Wasn't sure I liked this at first, but flavour of Rye and Oak definitely grow on you.Full flavours for sure that linger long after drink is finished.Not as good as Eagle Rare,but still,for £25 and 50.5% ABV....I do recommend this Turkey!?
The real deal at a steal
I've been trying a number of different bourbon brands and Wild Turkey 101 is among the best, especially considering it's moderate price. This is the bourbon worth having on hand; better than most others.
No need to try others, this by far the best Bourbon I've tasted, over ice, in a manhattan, or with a few drops of water this bourbon rules!
Salted caramel and the warming of higher proof. Great to pair with a full bodied cigar. Mixes well too.
