Wild Turkey 8 Year Old

All I can say is wow! I've had various bourbons and this one knocks them all out. Powerful, flavorful, sweet, spicy...I think I just found my benchmark bourbon.

Score 90/100

Wild Turkey 12 Year Old

Another gem from the wonderful world of bourbon. All the chocolaty oaky goodness in the nose comes rushing in when you take your first sip. Nice long and dry finish. Luckily I have a bottle that is straight out from the WT-03RB batch - the same one that Jim tasted from.

Wild Turkey Tradition 1995 14 Year Old Master Distiller

This is a limited release from the Wild Turkey Distillery. I was lucky enough to get this $100 bottle for $64 on closeout sale in Pennsylvania. The nose on this is very nice and soothing. I love the smell of bourbon, but most lower priced bourbons fail to really hold my attention on the nose. This, however, offers up a nice bouquet of aromas....
