1977 Wild Turkey 8/101
101 proof 8 years Bourbon Wild Turkey Lawrenceburg, KY $75
Nose

Soft and not aggressive, light waxy nose, preponderance of oak, feathery and light as a feather

Palate

Feathery and light on the palate despite 101 proof, super smooth, soft upfront suggesting wheat in the mashbill, silky texture without being super viscous, consistent with Wild Turkey character

Finish

Medium to long finish, oak-forward with lingering softness

Very good
An exceptional vintage Wild Turkey that drinks remarkably light and smooth for its proof, showcasing the distillery's signature softness and consistency.
