Detailed Description
Crafted with conviction by their Master Distillers, Wild Turkey Bourbon is aged longer to deliver more character – and to give it that Wild Turkey signature kick, Eddie and Jimmy Russell use the classic Wild Turkey high-rye mash bill before it ages in the deepest level #4 “alligator” char American oak barrels. Wild Turkey shines on its own, or in a mixed drink like a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned. That’s why Eddie calls it “a whiskey that can stand up to any mixer or in any cocktail with the bold, in-your–face taste that is distinctively Wild Turkey.” They distill at a lower proof, so less water is added, resulting in a fuller and more robust bourbon flavor – just way the Russell’s have been making it for over 60 years.
Wild Turkey Bourbon Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: Soft, with sweet raisins, cinnamon, toffee popcorn and a touch of black pepper. There’s also rich sweetness in the form of vanilla, honey and caramelised bananas.
Palate: Nice and spicy, with clove and nutmeg perking up the honeyed fruit. Not too sweet (a good thing) and a good, solid punch of spicy fruit.
Finish: The soft honey and vanilla notes sit well with the spice.
Distillery Information
