Wild Turkey Longbranch

A weekend getaway with dear friends upstate for some good company, whiskey, cigars, warming fires and much needed laughs. I picked up a bottle of Longbranch for us to share. I always bring something up to expand the horizons for my friends who normally drinks JD. The price was right and, never having sampled Longbranch thought would be worthy for the weekend. A sweet nose opening primarily of cream soda, vanilla walnuts. A nice soft counter of cinnamon, leather with a little earthiness of damp leaves on an autumn day. Not overblown. Soft, warm and inviting. A soft, lightweight draw delivers, again, cream soda, vanilla with a nutty base. White pepper, wood spice and leather counters the the sweetness and crescendos towards the finish. A semi long finish of wood spices, tobacco, leather, pecan crumb pie ride a semi long finish that works its way deep down, warming. From nose to finish rides the theme of sweetness and spice. An easy sipper (no ice needed) that is simple and enjoyable. Perfect for autumn evenings to share amongst friends for simple conversation. One that may be worthy for an everyday sipper. Reasonably priced and enjoyable. [86/100][$40][Tasted: 10/13/19]
