Wild Turkey 8-Year 101 (2014)
101 proof 8 years Bourbon Wild Turkey Lawrenceburg, KY $35 75% corn, 13% rye, 12% malted barley

Pronounced Wild Turkey funk with toffee and distinctive cured, fennel-forward savory meat notes. Rich and intriguing with multiple waves of aroma.

Chewy and oily texture with burnt toffee caramel sweetness offset by significant oak tannin and dryness. Brown sugar sweetness combined with savory, almost meaty character. Viscous leg formation in glass indicates lower barrel entry proof.

Dry with lingering oak and tannic structure. Fades gradually with persistent earthiness.

Noteworthy
A uniquely savory and textured expression with pronounced oak character and funk that stands apart from other bottlings in its lineup.
