Hot damn! Age statement bourbon! As I’ve gone further down the scotch rabbit hole, I find myself drinking less bourbon these days, but this puts a smile on my face. Seems like there’s so many bourbons on the market these days and it’s hard to stand out among the crowd, but this one is worth looking at. Wild Turkey gets a bad rap. They make a quality budget whiskey (101), have intriguing promotional offers (Longbranch), and now this. No reason to diss on that. The nose is my favorite part. It reminds me of the mixture I make for Hot Buttered Rum (minus the rum), with butter, brown sugar, and baking spices. Classic bourbon notes on the palate with an emphasis On the vanilla (I suspect from ten years in the barrel). Finish is long, warming, and even though it’s still summer in Texas, it makes me feel like I’m back in Colorado on a snowy winter morning. Good stuff. Well crafted. Highly affordable. Most recommended.
