Wild Turkey Bourbon 101

nose: caramel, toffee, vanilla, dark chocolate, sweet, creamy mouth: wood, spicy, buttery

Not as harsh or chemical-y as many of the other bourbons I've tried, especially the higher proof ones. Also a little more caramel taste than some of the other bourbons. A good value bourbon for sipping or for cocktails.

Initially very boozy but then pretty standard, well rounded bourbon nose with perhaps the slightest unusual pepper on top of corn, oak and a slight amount of cereal grain. Very hot and itchy in the mouth, immediately charred oak after swallowing, then a general rich sweetness. With coke it becomes oakier than most bourbons I've tried, also carries some tart dark fruits in the flavors. Overall okay and more of a value proposition than a sheer quality proposition.

I have reviewed this whiskey a lot, but I just picked up a bottle for $20! At that price this 101-proof bourbon is the best on the shelf period.
