Wild Turkey Diamond Anniversary Bourbon

Revisited this one tonight after bottle being open for awhile. As much as it hurts I have to drop the rating a bit. Not enough "wow" factor on the nose. Although the palette and finish is fun and changing, it is a bit dead and misses a higher proof I think. Finish is still pretty kick ass though. $129 good? Nah. Tasty Wild Turkey with history to it-- for sure.

Nose: Vanilla and wood. Pallet: fruit like apricot, raspberry that turns into cherry syrup. Finish: Herbal like mint and grass. Love this stuff! There is something new in the flavor will each sip.

Outstanding dry bourbon.

Review is spot on Peanut brittle on the nose Def get some menthol on the palate. A delicate yet complex whiskey. Remarkable. Cheers!

Give it time in the glass. Too be sipped over time. DON'T put any drops of water like I did at first. Take your time and it will mellow out. Not overly sweet. More nuanced. Dare I say more "sophisticated" bourbon? Menthol, butterscotch, candy apples. Getting marzipan which I assume from the higher content of barley. Hints of vanilla, leather, and nutmeg. I assume vanilla from good casks, leather from the age, and nutmeg from the rye. A hint of brewed tea. All that said I really like Russells 10 year reserve because it is richer is taste and mouthfeel. Both are good. Both are different.
