Nose: Upfront, you get those classic Wild Turkey notes of vanilla bean, light brown sugar, and home-made caramel candies. Underneath all that, warm cherries, light peanut brittle, citrus oil, saddle leather, and allspice start to spread their wings. Palate: In classic Wild Turkey fashion, this stays clingy and oily. The mid-palate is coated with vanilla and brown sugar, but later finds those sour cherries and cedarwood oils. Finish: This is no where near a short finish. The 101 proof stays with you and gives something to contemplate. All that allspice and citrus develops alongside a warming chest bump. This is so versatile, cheap, classic, and never gets old. Album Comparison: 101 is like Fleetwood Mac’s White Album. You keep coming back for more and you seem to find something new and exciting every time you take a listen.
