I’ve heard good things about this, so I eventually coughed up $50 for a 375ml bottle. Let’s see how it is. This is Batch 1 On the nose I get a subtle red apple note with maple brown sugar and oak char. Vanilla, rye, some baking spices and a little bit of saw dust complete the image. The palate has a nice thick mouthfeel. Its really not too sweet, just a the right amount of sweetness. I get a decent amount of rye, vanilla and some corn, as well as some cinnamon and dusty barn. The finish is nice and long. A slow little burn down the throat with lingering dusty rye and a little bit of vanilla. I like this. I can definitely see how this is a Wild Turkey product. I even poured a little WT 101 to compare. WB Saffell was more interesting and satisfying to sip (thicker and denser flavors). But WT 101 was no slouch.
