Nose
Sweet and aromatic with nutmeg and caramel; pleasant aromas that stand out despite the lower proof.
Palate
Light and creamy with surprising mouthfeel for 86 proof; sweet with honey notes and a well-balanced profile.
Finish
Dry with a subtle mesquite barbecue smoke character—like smoldering firewood from three houses away; short but pleasant.

A well-balanced, approachable whiskey that punches above its proof with creamy texture and subtle smoke, ideal for casual sipping or introducing new drinkers to the Wild Turkey profile.
