Keep in mind I’m more of a scotch guy, but this one really impressed me. Nose: brown sugar cinnamon, a sinus opening almost menthol/minty refresh feeling on the back of the nose. Not mint but that same refreshing feeling you get from smelling mint. Rounded all off by heavy barrel spice (not rye spice, but barrel tannins) Taste: Nice strong punch of spicy brown sugar. Cinnamon and vanilla dominate the mid pallet. Long lingering finish reminds me of a either a heavy vanilla bean ice cream, or creme brûlée’s. I’ve never been a fan of the original wild turkey, but the barrel strength proof obviously takes those flavors of the mash bill and amps them up to a new level. For the price of $47 this is definitely one I’ll come back to after I finish this bottle. Excellent.
