Wild Turkey Master's Keep 17 Year

Tasted with a friend. Similar to the 2015 Birthday Bourbon, but smoother.

This is a very different Turkey than all the rest. For such an old bourbon, it Doesn't taste old and musty at all; really high quality juice. Pair with dark cocoa for added sweetness. Great with BBQ chicken.

This is a well balanced and easy to drink WT. While the proof came in surprisingly below 90, nothing is missing from the Wild Turkey flavor profile. It does seem lacking, in my opinion, when compared to Russell's Reserve Single Barrel. However, I have only had one glass so far and that may not be a fair comparison. At $135 I will want to savor this for quite a while...
