Wild Turkey Kentucky Straight Bourbon

This was actually Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit single barrel.

A nice high rye bourbon, especially for the cost. Great spicy notes.

Trivia with @Zslug

Good value and nice taste.

Picked up a bottle of this on a whim. My first one in ages. I'm going to try and review it on its own merit and not compare it to it's 101 brother. Sampled in a Glencairn... NOSE: General Sweetness. Toffee, Butterscotch, Vanilla, Slightly Floral with a Hint of Citrus. A touch of the Dry Dusty WT Funk. A hint of Oak. NEAT: Not a lot of complexity which is a little surprising considering all the notes I am getting from the nose. Vanilla sweetness, a touch of Rye Spice, and a little oak. Finishes with minimal heat. Thinnish mouthfeel but coats the palate in lingering oak and pepper spice. SPLASH: A few drops of water brighten the nose, accentuating the Floral Note, but burying everything else. Takes away what little spiciness was on the palate, but does pull out a little more oak. VERDICT: Nice. I find it a little on the light side and missing the heavy oak notes of the 101. Conversely, I find the 101 to be a bit heavy and needing air and dilution to hit my bourbon sweet spot. Maybe that's why I liked the Longbranch so much? It's almost like a blend of the two. However, this is very good and is probably (along with Four Roses) among my favorite 80 proofers.
