Nose
Rich oak with dark fruit notes of plum, hints of cherry, vanilla and caramel. Strong rick house aroma with tobacco, leather, and a floral note reminiscent of cherry tea with honey.
Palate
Viscous and chewy with significant body. Opens with oak and spicy caramel with leather notes. Chocolate character similar to milk duds, buttery with strong oak richness, vanilla, and caramel. The spice builds on the back of the palate. Delivers a Kentucky hug that builds the longer you sip.
Finish
Long and lingering finish with sustained spice and oak. Warm and satisfying with the hug continuing to develop.
Overall Score
4.2 / 5
A well-crafted, viscous 10-year bourbon from Wild Turkey's master distillers that offers exceptional value at its price point with a rich, complex profile and impressive length.
