Nose
Aromatic. Polished leather. Palate
Big. Smooth. Almost slippery at first, then developing an interesting interplay of sweetness and dryness. Cereal grains. Pecan nuts. Tobacco-like. Finish
Spicy. Toothsome. Comment
No fancy tricks here but a big, complex, regular bourbon.
Dave Broom
Nose
Dry and spicy with treacle cigar smoke/ash. Pretty dry. Palate
As the nose suggests, dry and tight with a little honeyed lushness mid-palate. Finish
Long and sweet. Comment
Firm and dry, but has none of Wild Turkey’s signature depth and sweet power.
