Wild Turkey Bourbon 101

For 50.5% abv, this bourbon has a surprisingly delicate nose. It definitely smells like a bourbon, but it’s not loud. On the palate however, there’s MUCH more of a punch. On the first few sips you feel the proof, and as you start to adjust all of the friendly sweet notes start to shine more and more. It’s honey, vanilla and even a light bit of sweet citrus. Then comes the long spicy finish. This originally was a go-to shooter/mixer for me back in the day, but I’ve started to keep it on hand for late-night neat sipping more. I especially like this with a cigar.

Spicy overall. Punchy/peppery first blast with some sweeter vanilla notes on the nose.

Spice on the nose. Brown sugar, oak, and a pepper finish

One of my go to sippers

Heavy sweetness with some black pepper from the new char barrel

Consistent flavor

This is a very good bourbon..esp for the price! It is viscous and to me it has a close taste to Eagle Rare. It's one of my favorite lower shelf bourbons
