Wild Turkey Bourbon 101

Nose - Vanilla, cinnamon, brown sugar, citrus Taste - Light brown sugar, vanilla, pepper spice, apple pie

Spicy. Hot early, well balanced.

Nose: caramel sweet, Palate: sticky, oily, sweet Finish long, sweet Water helps to tame it.

A drop of water really brings this to life and tones down the spiciness.

Classic bourbon notes of vanilla, caramel, and oak. The nose is spicy but surprisingly full and flavorful for the price point. Even at 50.5 ABV, the sip is sweet with more caramel and toffee, hinting at a deep cherry note. One of my favorite bargain buys.

2.5 stars - Very nice; many pours Cinnamon and oak. This is high quality at a great price, but not my style. If you like the cinnamon profile, try Old Granddad and Larceny. Both taste very similar to Wild Turkey.
