Wild Turkey Master's Keep Bottled in Bond 17 Year

Decent. A little thin, good finish

Nose: This is very classic Wild Turkey on the nose, just a little deeper than usual. The oak is definitely there, but it is layered in with cherry, dense vanilla custard, caramel, and orange zest. The Wild Turkey funk note is prominent as well which admittedly I am a huge fan of. There’s also a nice toasty note resembles toasted marshmallow and graham cracker. Palate: Easy sipper all the way. The front of the palate is typical Turkey with the cherry, brown sugar, and vanilla custard we found on the nose. The mid palate is where we find cinnamon graham cracker, almond, orange zest, clove, and a touch of bittersweet chocolate. Finish: The finish here is really great. The 17 year oak comes across as a wonderful fire roasted marshmallow that is almost nostalgic with how much it reminds me of being around a campfire making s’mores. Final rating 9.4/10

The nose has a lot of dark cherries and fruit. The taste comes in relatively hot for being 100 proof and I get orange marmalade. The finish brings in more of the classic vanilla flavors you get from Wild Turkey. Pretty long finish with charred oak that is Really nice for being 17 years old.

The finish could be a bit longer but I find it to be a well balanced dram. Currently my favorite Bourbon.

Smoky, oaky, cherry, and some WT funk. One of my all time favorites. If you’re a turkey fan, you’ll love this.
