101 proof
8 years
Bourbon
Wild Turkey
$75
Nose
Soft and waxy, not aggressive, minimal ethanol presence, well-aged character
Palate
Light as a feather, feathery mouthfeel, surprisingly soft upfront for 101 proof, no significant blowback, reveals good structure beneath the softness
Finish
Medium to long finish with oak presence, smooth despite the proof
Overall Score
4.3 / 5
A beautifully aged vintage Wild Turkey that drinks lighter and softer than its 101-proof statement would suggest, showcasing the brand's classic elegance.
