Tasting Notes
Wild Turkey 81 Proof is a bourbon that packs a punch despite its lower alcohol content. From the moment you open the bottle, the spiced and oaky aromas greet you, hinting at the flavors to come. On the palate, it's rich and velvety, with notes of caramel, honey, and fudge dancing on your tongue. But there's more to explore, like the subtle hints of rhubarb and custard sweets, as well as the bold presence of oily espresso beans. The finish lingers, with a delightful blend of caramel, coffee, Black Forest honey, and a touch of charred spiciness reminiscent of Hot Cross Buns. This bourbon is a testament to the expertise of Eddie Russell, who crafted it with a high rye content and a heavy char on the casks, resulting in a flavor profile that's both complex and approachable.
