I'm not personally crazy about the Wild Turkey flavour profile in general (something about it has always left me vaguely unsatisfied), but the quality/craftsmanship is always there. And WT deserves all the credit in the world for putting out a barrel-strength whiskey of such consistent quality for such a solid price (I can grab a bottle in Canada for $45. The next closest barrel strength bourbon available is $65 or $70). Flavours are vanilla and brown sugar wrapped in leather and tobacco leaves. Orange peel, toasted oak, nuts. Wine gums? Body is oddly thin for such a high ABV. Lots of rye spice and brining spice (I often think of a good deli when I think of Wild Turkey--caraway, dill, clove, something slightly meaty and smokey).
