Tasting Notes

Barrel-proof Wild Turkey at a price that still looks like a mistake. Everything the 101 does with considerably more force, and one of the most consistently praised bottles in its category.

Nose

charred oak, vanilla, orange, cinnamon

Palate

brown sugar, pepper, tobacco, dark char

Finish

very long, spicy, oak and heat

Best enjoyed neat, old-fashioned.
