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.
I love it?
Great
Love it. Especially at the price point. Sweet, mild spicy cherry tobacco, long finish and warming. So so good.
My favorite go to whiskey. The best for the price. I like good Scotch, I will not lie. Ardbeg is sweet peat. This is like candy also. Delicious, flavorful, never boring. Smooth, easy to drink, mixes well with water and probably ice.
Perfect on the rocks or dare I say mixed with ginger or in an old fashioned
