Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit Single Barrel Bourbon

More dry and savory

Nose: A good amount of oak Palate: Strong baking spices including cinnamon and peoper with a small hint of vanilla Finish: On my first sip the spice transitioned into a vanilla sweetness that floated up my palate. Well, it’s a Wild Turkey product! Bottled at 101 proof, this single barrel was a bit thin but a serviceable sipper. However it doesn’t offer a lot more to make me come back to it again and again.

I love Wild Turkey in all its expressions. I'm getting down to the end of this single-barrel bottle so I thought I'd write my third note on it, which is consistent with the previous two (7/7/22; 10/20/22). Clear light mahogany color. Orange peel, apple pie, some vanilla, sweet tea, honey, and red hots. Pleasant oaky vanilla mid-palate, along with some tobacco and leather notes. The 101 proof makes an appearance, but very smooth and well integrated. There is the dustiness that I picked up in my last review, but in this tasting it leads more toward char. The overall impression is a sweet, easy-to-drink bourbon with a nice balance of WT's rye spiciness. Bottled 4/30/2020 from barrel 1448, stored in Warehouse A, on rick 37. 101 proof. N.B.: All spirits tasted neat in a Glencairn glass.
