Wild Turkey Longbranch

I almost didn't try this whiskey because I think most celebrity whiskeys end up just being a gimmick. That being said, I read some reviews and background on creating this whiskey, so I gave it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised and ended up really liking it. It is not the best one I have ever tasted, but it is pretty easy to drink. Nose - Initially when I poured it all I could smell was a strong acetone smell. I let it sit in the glass for 5-10 minutes and it opened up. I could smell maple and vanilla with a hint of cinnamon. There was a touch of oak and mesquite as well. Pallet - It is definitely has some sweetness to it. There was maple and vanilla and an almost burnt toffee taste. Towards the end there was some mesquite smoke flavor. Finish - A lingering sweetness with some charred wood notes. The flavor lingered for a bit. This whiskey I prefer neat. I personally do not think it needs any ice or water. If I was introducing someone to whiskey, this would be one I would consider choosing.

Très belle texture en bouche avec une couleur agréable à l’œil. Un nez sucré de fête foraine 🎡 Au goût le caramel domine sur l’orange. Le bois est très discret pour un bourbon. Épices légère. Au total c’est bien réussi sans complexité. La bouteille est magnifique avec son gros bouchon de bois … par contre elle se verse mal.

This is pretty alright alright alright
