Tasting Notes

Nose

Unmistakable Wild Turkey character — caramel and vanilla wrapped in seasoned oak, honeyed warmth, the 101 proof adding aromatic intensity

Palate

Rich toffee and caramel — waves of cinnamon, black pepper, dried apricot, cherry, pumpernickel, roasted oak, clove, licorice, the signature Turkey funk, full-bodied at 101 proof without harshness

Finish

Long and warm — cinnamon and oak, the pre-Prohibition style that Jimmy Russell preserved, rich caramel fading to dry oak spice

Expert Review

8/10

Legendary Master Distiller Jimmy Russell — 60+ years at the helm — 'didn't change a damn thing' about this pre-Prohibition-style bourbon. 101 proof (50.5% ABV) delivering rich, complex, full-bodied character. Caramel, vanilla, seasoned oak, and the signature Turkey funk. Under £25 for one of bourbon's all-time greats.
