Wild Turkey 81 Proof 70cl Whisky
Wild Turkey 81 Proof
A lower strength bourbon from Wild Turkey, bottled at 81 proof (40.5% abv) and created by the associate distiller Eddie Russell, the son of master distiller Jimmy Russell. This has a high rye content in the mash bill and is aged in casks with a heavy char - the result of which is huge flavour and complexity without the same heat as the 101 proof.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
A spiced, oaky nose with vanilla fudge, rye spices and coffee beans.
Palate
Rich and thick, notes of caramel, manuka honey and fudge, hints of rhubarb and custard sweets and oily espresso beans.
Finish
Caramel and coffee, hints of Black Forest honey and Hot Cross Buns. Charred and spicy.
Overall
A fabulous bourbon with oodles of complexity…
