Wild Turkey Rare Breed

This bourbon verges on cloyingly sweet. It really toes the line. And yet it succeeds perhaps because of this character, which almost makes it seem like the inside of a rich creme brûlée in a glass, accentuated by its thick, syrupy mouthfeel and flavor. It also exhibits a powerful warming finish that lasts and lasts, and which is consistent with the higher proof -- but it does not burn. The downside of this one is I find mixing this in sweeter cocktails to not produce a balanced drink, and it lacks a spicy or smoky character to add some complexity, so makes for a relatively poor mixer. Best as an after-dinner substitute for dessert!

Need to try. Put in freezer.
