It was first savoured as a specially selected barrel aged bourbon by a group of hunters

seeking the remarkable wild turkey bird, a native of north America.

 

Today it is distilled according to old time Kentucky traditions, and matured in new charred

white oak barrels until it becomes the legendary, smooth bourbon whisky known as wild

turkey.

Tasting Notes by Michael Jackson

Nose	Dry. Molasses. Vanilla.

Palate

More malty flavours than might be expected in a Bourbon. Suggestions.

Finish

Oaky, winey, raising. Very long.

Comment

Yes, it is big and wild, but far more sophisticated than the name suggests.

 

Tasting Notes by Jim Murray

Nose	Heavy oak and vanilla, sweet and quite fat.

Palate

Rich and mouth-coating from the start, with a surprising burst of oaky spice at the centre. The honey sweetness lurks in the background.

Finish

Rye depth and fruitiness but unusually dry and oak-heavy.

Comment

A drier version of the old No. 8 101 brand, with the honey trademark keeping a low profile. Not quite so complex but a sturdy bourbon for all that.
