Wild Turkey Rye 101

Burns like Turkey with a slight rye taste. Not my fav

I’ve had Wild Turkey’s lower proof rye, but just not getting to try this one. Had this in a flight of other whiskeys. It was the first of the flight. On the nose, right off the bat there is rye, sweet vanilla and a little bit of oak. It’s not quite as dusty as the lower proof rye. The palate follows the nose. It is on the sweet side. There is also a light leather and cola notes in there as some anise. The finish is medium length with lingering rye and a little bit of vanilla. Not much of a burn for me. I though this was fine for a rye. Not a huge rye fan, but I enjoy them occasionally. I think this is a definite step up from the regular WT Rye. This one has bolder flavors, and also doesn’t taste like it’s been watered down, like the other one does for me.

Christmas in a glass.
