This is from a local store in Hendersonville, TN (just outside Nashville) called Center Point Liquors. Warehouse B, 4th floor, 8 years and 6 months.
The nose is sweet with vanilla frosting, caramelized red apples and plumbs, raisins, rye and other baking spices, light chocolate, along with some wild turkey funk, which I describe as an empty peanut can with some dusty peanut debris, and there’s also a hint of baked bread. Very pleasant nose.
The palate is sweet and medium viscosity. It has rye spice, chocolate, caramel, vanilla frosting, a little bit of dried fruit and dusty peanut can.
The finish is long with cooked plumbs, corn, and a lingering rye spice on the back of the palate.
This is probably the best Russel’s Reserve Single Barrel store pick that I have had, and it was a neck pour! This one has all of the classic Wild Turkey profile notes that I love in spades.
