Nose
Turkey nose character with toffee, dark pitted cherries, plum, raisin, vanilla, cocoa, and honey tea notes.
Palate
Full-bodied mid-palate with caramel, significant spice, Hershey chocolate bar sweetness with cinnamon spice, baking spices reminiscent of cinnamon gumdrops and orange spice gumdrops, leather, and oak. Complex with multiple layers of flavor.
Finish
Very long finish that is spicy and bold but not drying, inviting continued sipping. Maintains sweetness with lingering honey tea, oak, smokiness, clove, and baking spices. Makes the mouth water.
Really good
A complex, well-balanced 13-year-old expression with excellent sweetness and spice that stands out among Wild Turkey's lineup and delivers exceptional value at its price point.
