Wild Turkey Longbranch

Would have preferred a more smokey taste as I think my head was telling me it would be but solid tasting and would happily drink again

* Nose - Sweet, but subtle nose. Vanilla, caramel, and some spice. Maybe cinnamon or nutmeg. Later on, leather and smoke. Not overly complex but very different and pleasant as hell. * Taste - Smooth sip. Unique smokiness, unlike other bourbons I’ve had. Some oakiness with soft vanilla and caramel later. Unmistakably Wild Turkey. The lower the glass gets, the more that becomes apparent. Very muted palate, though. This would’ve been a fantastic 100 proof bourbon, but at 86, it left me wanting a little bit. * Finish - Super short finish, but that seems to be the name of the game with this bourbon. Just… good. * Uniqueness - The smokiness really adds some charm to this dram. This would be an outstanding smooth whisky to drink around the campfire with some friends. * Value - It’s different, charming, and smooth as a glass marble on a patch of ice. The celebrity endorsement certainly helps raise this bourbon’s profile, though I wouldn’t price it where it’s at. Got it on sale for $35 and I’m fine with that or a different taste and a really likable (if just simple enough) bourbon experience. (MSRP $40)
