13 Years
Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Wild Turkey
$69.95-$70
75% corn, 13% rye, 12% malted barley
Nose
Turkey nose with wafts of toffee, dark pitted cherries, plum, vanilla, and cocoa notes with honey tea undertones.
Palate
Full of flavor with caramel, quite a bit of spice, and a Hershey chocolate bar with cinnamon quality; baking spices throughout with leather and oak notes.
Finish
Very long and complex finish with layers of complexity; spicy and bold with deep oak, smokiness, honey tea, and a sizzle of rice spice and barrel spice combined on the back end.
Overall Score
4.3 / 5
A well-balanced, high-rye barrel-proof bourbon that bridges wheated and rye-forward profiles with exceptional value at retail price.
