101 proof
8 years
Bourbon
Wild Turkey
Lawrenceburg, KY
75% corn, 13% rye, 12% malted barley
Nose
Rich, overripe dark cherries with concentrated funk. Darker fruit character than other expressions. Complex and layered.
Palate
Dense and concentrated with vanilla and cream soda sweetness upfront. Brown sugar richness. Orange oil zest (runny Naranja quality) with cinnamon-laced baking spices. Dark fruit undercurrent. Creamy, concentrated character with all typical Wild Turkey flavors turned up to eleven.
Finish
Rich and lingering with continued revelation of new notes — vanilla, honey, dark chocolate — long after the swallow. Cinnamon-y finish as it evaporates off the tongue.
Outstanding
An exceptionally concentrated and complex expression with amplified vanilla, cream, orange oil, and spice that continues to reveal new layers of flavor long after the initial taste.
