Tastes

Dark red berry, toasted oak, honey

Some smoke, some apple, plenty of barrel sugar.

Vanilla from the barrel, caramel from the malt.

High oak, vanilla, almond

Peat on peat on peat

Toasted marshmallows and damp earth on the nose. On the palate, herbal flavors of eucalyptus and black tea are ramped up to new heights. Wild Turkey has a fairly high rye content anyway, but diminishing the mellow corn sweetness did not necessarily work to benefit this whiskey.
