Tastes

Some nice caramel and vanilla notes that I seek out in a bourbon, but too much spice for me. Want to like it but to spicey.

I understand it’s Whistle Pig, but I picked this up hoping it wouldn’t have rye flavors. I shouldn’t have. Spicey, hot, thin.

Spice, mint, and cinnamon. Womp. I love Russell’s Reserve, so I assumed I’d like most Wild Turkey products. I couldn’t be more wrong. The nose was delicious with caramel and vanilla. But once I tasted it, those great flavors drowned into spice and mint. Not my bag.

Honey is the main note I get, but not overly sweet. Nicely balanced with barrel char. Drinks below its proof.

I like the sweetness but can’t get past the mint notes. Wish there were more smoky flavors too.

Peanuts/peanut brittle. Really enjoy the flavors. Drinks hotter than the proof? Will return later after trying it more. 7 years 4 months. CL-W warehouse.

Caramel, bananas, oak, caramel—all flavors deep and complex. Neat with the smallest splash of water.

Best bang for the buck? Corn, sweet, easy drinking. Really enjoyed it.

Deep, rich, smoky, caramel. Most complex bourbon for the price.

Not crazy about how light the body is. I enjoy the flovors so I’m excited to try the 101.
