Bourbon — Kentucky, USA

February 16, 2019 (edited March 28, 2019)
50.5% abv (101 proof)
Nose: in a word, excellent. fruity, including red apple and cherry; vanilla: slight cedar; caramel; clove; cinnamon spice.
Taste: full, viscous and decadent! Creamy vanilla; cherry; cola; and oak barrel. Whisp of smoke from the char nicely woven through.
Finish: short-medium; drying with vanilla and cinnamon sugar dominating; slight heat from chili spice; touch of mint; syrupy sweet cotton candy and sour at the tail end.
Value: $50-$60. A bit pricy.
Final thoughts: an overall great Single Barrel bourbon that’s near perfect for sipping and is sure to please fans of Wild Turkey. But the finish is a bit lacking. Given the choice I think the higher abv Wild Turkey Rare Breed is superior than this more relaxed and price-comparable counterpart.
Score: 3.5/5
Recommend trying or buying a bottle at a good price.
