Nose: Vanilla, brown sugar, and oak. Maple - imagine a maple donut from your favorite local shop. Under-ripe bananas, peaches. Rye spice just barely poking through as cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. Peanuts - roasted but unsalted. Sweet naval oranges. Dense and rich, but not overpowering or excessive. Palate: Classic bourbon - vanilla, brown sugar, and oak. The maple has turned down while the citrus is punching through some more. Creamy - for some reason I'm reminded of the orange Creme Savers from a while back. Flashes of wintergreen and mint. Fruity - strawberries, blueberries, and peaches. Some tannin here, but in a very balanced way. Barrel and char, too. Medium-light mouthfeel. Finish begins with a a harmony of vanilla, fruit, and barrel notes. As things settle in, some alcohol brightness, mint, and cream start pushing through in a surge of flavors. Then a really appealing sweet citrus oil and honey note shows up, along with this backbone of tannin and oak. The fade-out is a dance between cream, orange, vanilla, honeysuckle, and oak. Other notes: The few things I've had so far from Wild Turkey have impressed me. The 101, the rye, and this are all excellent at their respective price-points. Though my bourbon preferences tend to lean into the cask strength end of the spectrum, this demonstrates what a skilled master distiller is really capable of with lower proofs. I almost want to say I wish I could have this at barrel strength, but I also feel like the balance going on here would get destroyed in the process. This fits a similar profile as Knob Creek, but heads into a more fruit-forward direction, while KC leans into the barrel. Really appealing overall.
