I have had the 101 Wild Turkey and i remember that one been a good dram, well this is not my kind of bourbon. Way too herbal, oaky and burning.
Bottled at 40.5%abv
On the nose it has the typical bourbon notes but not as pleasant. Prunes. A Stinky bourbon note, Banana, Cinamon and vanilla.
On the palate is too herbal and unpleasant, for me. Caramel, Herbal Clove unpleasant. much too herbal. Very young oak. The finish is too cloying.
Overall i give this dram an 56 over 100. Some people might like it, not my case.

Overall I like WT 101 better than the 81 but all of the Wild Turkey products have a peppery herbal finish/aftertaste to me. If you can find it try Evan Williams Bottled in Bond for a good full flavored bourbon.
