Wild Turkey Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Astringent with a distinct burn, but notes of brown sugar and green apple around the edges. Good for cocktails, but I wouldn’t drink it straight.

The original Wild Turkey is a telling example of how average an all-time classic straight bourbon can really be and why the word "classic" is a bit overestimated in terms of whiskey. To the nose - chocolate, plum, fresh grass, a bit spiritous. To the taste - smooth “straight” bourbon to the core with silky hints of caramel, spices and raisins. Finish is unimpressive and very predictable. Tbh I liked it in a manner and it's a decent drink so to say but I'd rather replace it with a less promoted but more remarkable bourbon since there's some in the market.
