This is a barrel pick.
Store: Kentucky OG Party Center (Louisville, USA)
Age: NAS
Bottle date: 04/01/2020
Barrel: 20-1187
Warehouse: A
Rick: 8
Color: deep copper
Nose: this bourbon noses a lot more like WT Rare Breed which is a barrel proof whiskey. Vanilla, caramel, honey, hints of clove, floral notes and oak. One of the best Wild Turkey nosings I can remember.
Taste: wow a lot going on here...molasses, creamy, rich, citrus with butterscotch and some baking spices, more floral notes. Very little ethanol. It’s what many would likely call a smooth bourbon.
Finish: medium to *long* finish, which is surprising for a 101-proof bourbon in my experience. It hangs around a good 30 seconds and is a nice finish.
I love Wild Turkey and while Russell’s Reserve 10 is probably my favorite, this particular bottle rivals the best store picks of RR10 I’ve had in the past. Fantastically balanced. An underrated whiskey. But in my opinion it’s one of the best.
