Wild Turkey Bourbon 101

Full nose, strong smoky oak backbone, nice finish.

Still my favorite, to this day.

Very nice mouthfeel and flavorful sipping whiskey. Adding water is a no-go with this one for me, just seems to flatten the taste and brings out more oak. The 101 proof on this whiskey is very tolerable anyway. Makes a great old fashioned.

Nose: Rich, toffeeish, butterscotch, floral, vanilla custard. Palate: Vanilla and caramel draped over oak like a misplaced scarf at a fancy ball. Finish: Spicy, gentle warmth, oak is more present. Notes: A couple drops of water really opens up the nose with the floral notes being more prominent and identifiable as jasmine. It does make the palate a bit harsher though.

Caramel, vanilla, spices

Is it the best bourbon on the planet? No. But is it one of the absolute best bourbons in its price range? Yes! It really has everything you could want from a well rounded bourbon. I will always have a bottle on my shelf.
