Wild Turkey Rare Breed Barrel Proof Bourbon

Rich lemon curd, buttery, roasted corn, vanilla cake & buttercream frosting, fresh mint, toasted coconut, nutmeg, peppery, burnt sugar, a bit of nutty barley, soft oak tannins. Superb and still affordable.

Shinning copper Nose: alcohol but no varnish smell, vanilla, rosewood, toasted oak, perfume, chocolate cookies, marzipan. Mouth: alcohol punch, bright but not citrus, honey, sweet, oak chips, feels like sucking wood, macarons. Finish is a long dry feeling from the alcohol.

Aromas of chewing gum and vanilla. First sips taste of raw sugar, caramel and vanilla. Has kind of a spice or spearmint finish. Get a some hints of light charred oak in there as well. Definitely worth the price

Real good bang for your buck. Spicy. Leather. Maple. Tobacco.

Even with the price creeping up a bit, this is still a fantastic value for a bourbon that could easily compete with nearly all the "unicorn" bottles on the market today. If you only like wheated or soft whiskey, this likely won't be for you. However, if you enjoy some rye in your mashbill, even if it's only occasionally, you'll really enjoy this. I may be crazy, but I think it tastes like sweet tea on the finish. There's some heat from the proof, but its pretty tame and a good introduction if you're not used to something cask strength. It's easily found on the shelf, and has a storied past. You won't regret adding it to your collection.
