The wildest Wild Turkey! A barrel proof beast that packs a wallop of butter, cinnamon, and spice. A fine Christmas present from my wife, indeed. As I continue to move through the whiskey world, particularly bourbon, I keep finding myself going back to Old Forester and Wild Turkey. OF gives me chocolate, cherry, and caramel. Wild Turkey gives me pepper, cinnamon, and brown butter. Two distinctly different profiles, but equally tasty to me. So much that they're the ones I choose to keep both of their barrel proof versions around at home amidst all the single malts. Who doesn't love a little variety. Bourbon was my gateway whiskey after all. The nose is 101 amped up to 11, but with less oak and more cinnamon. A younger spirit, perhaps, but a fighter, and full of flavor. A little H2O rounds out the spice and brings the buttery notes to the fore. Classic Turkey. On the palate, you get an explosion of flavors. Oak. Check. Cinnamon. Check. Pepper. Check. Mouth numbing goodness. Check. Endless finish. Check. Definitely my favorite Turkey to date. Real good stuff folks. If you're thinking about dipping your toe into the barrel proof bourbon pool, this one is as good of a place as any to start. Cheers!
