What it’s like

The smoothest version of Wild Turkey, with a lower strength than its classic 101. It keeps the spicy character of the house, which uses a high rye proportion for a bourbon and heavily charred casks, but in a lighter format. It has caramel, vanilla, pepper and some fruit. It is an easy, affordable bourbon, very useful for cocktails and mixed drinks.

Nose
Caramel, vanilla and pepper, with a touch of fruit and oak.
Palate
Light and spicy. Toffee, spice, cereal and soft wood, with some vanilla.
Finish
Medium, spicy and somewhat dry, with a hint of caramel.
