So as with all other reviews so far...I haven't spent enough time for a proper review but lets go. I've had this now 3 times (not just 3 pours). I've compared it side by side with decades and a 10 year pick of spirit. I've also put it next to Knob creek 15 year which I'll be getting to sooner than later. So I think I have at least the general notes on this one. Nose - Instantly the funky turkey notes come out, I don't like the words dusty as that implies a decades old bottling and this is nothing like that. I'm fairly certain that this is camp nelson which is kinda the turkey boy lover's rickhouse and likely one that will upset non turkey lovers. I'm a bit agnostic with wild turkey...I like them but I don't think their "off" notes are some kind of magical dream land. With that funk however is an amazingly sweet nose. Each swirl gives me something new, from vanilla, creme brulee, shoe polish, wood finish, deep old oak (good sweet oak) and deep old funky oak. There's a lot to unwind and it never seems to come at you the same way twice in a row. Water teases out more spice which is a surprisingly big part of this bottle. Taste - So the first pour today and what strikes me is not any one flavor, but how many layers there are here. Up front just non descriptive sweetness, almost a corn sugar like note. Then there's a level of richness and more vanilla and light hints of oak. Then you think you're going into a finish, but you're not there yet. You get darker sweets, perhaps some chocolate, some oak, and a sharp and shocking spicy note. FINALLY, we're onto a finish where you get oak funky oak and well aged vanillas. Water mutes a lot of the transitions and brings the whisky together more. Here there's a bit more bitterness and sourness to the oak and the spice comes in earlier and then fades. Water does this whisky ZERO favors. Overall I think wild turkey has done a really nice job with this bottling. They've managed to bring us a high oak and high sweet expression of wild turkey and not dumbed it down for the masses like a Buffalo Trace offering would have done. I think this will please huge turkey fans, but I don't see this being a wow bottle to those who aren't in the turkey camp already. This is a niche bottling that show cases a profile I don't believe the average bourbon drinker, experienced or not will want to pay huge premiums for. And with that I'm left with a challenging score to give. 175 MSRP but a great many stores are asking over 200 (which is sadly what I paid). Price not considered in the scoring here, but it's worth noting it. If you really are a hardcore Turkey fan this might be a 90 or about a 4.0 but for the rest of the world that's about an 85 or a 3.25. Lets call it a day at a 3.5. Review done after about 5-6 pours of this over the course of 4 days. There's been no noticeable change with the bottle being open but this is one that may take upwards of 6 months to change.
