I'm going to start referring to these guys as jabs ("just another bourbon"). In a way, it's a compliment. To me, a jab is a solid entry-level bourbon, bottled somewhere in the 43-48% range, that hits the classic notes well, doesn't stray too far afield, and has no offputting or negative features. This Wild Turkey product's best feature is a nose I could smell all day, filled with fragrances of cherry, vanilla cream, and sweet toast. The taste is toffee and raisins forming a classic, middle-of-the-road profile that doesn't veer into more heavily oaked or more overly sweet flavors. The finish has a bit of oak tannin astringency, lasts enough beats to make out a melody of caramel and spice, and then moves on. A jab is the foundation of any boxer's repertoire, and of any bourbon fan's liquor cabinet. I would slot this a hair above Woodford Reserve and Bulleit, and in about the same place as Evan Williams Single Barrel, but all of these are solid jabs in the same $30-35 price range that I'd recommend trying for yourself.
