General description

Rich and oily with orange marmalade, cherry, vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, all the best bourbon notes in spades. A tad rough. Long finish with spicy, tingling on the tongue.

Nose of baking spices and red licorice. Mouthfeel was dry but mouth coating. Flavor profile was spicy with notes of caramel. Finish was steady and long lasting. Overall, tannic but satisfying.

Good expression, did not know what to expect but pleasantly surprised. Nice flavor, high proof lends itself to a little water to bring out the full experience.

General description

Cherry bomb! Very sweet, bold, and cherry forward. Flavor reminds me of cherry cobbler, and has a pleasant heat that builds with a nice bite. Notes of vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon, smoke at the end with some sweet oak. Damn good bourbon.

Nose

Cherry syrup, sweet toasted wood, vanilla, baked cherry pie, dark brown sugar

Palate

Cherry cobbler, building heat, bold flavor, medium-full mouth feel, nice bite, cinnamon,

Finish

Smokey, oak, dark fruits, aftertaste of fruit juice (fruit punch?)

General description

Excellent offering from Wild Turkey. Wild Turkey 101 is a bargain for a nice 101 proofer, but this SiB is on another plane of goodness. Although at highrt 110 proof, it's gotten rid of some of the rougher spices of WT 101, now smoother and more complex at same time. Lots of caramel and toffee balanced by flavorful spice and burn. Great sipper.

General description

Great Bourbon! Very complex and flavorful. Extremely smooth even with the high ABV. Great neat. However, a splash of water opens up sweetness and cuts down the alcohol without tamping down the other flavors. Right much better than the 10 yr reserve. Even with 10 years in the barrel, it can't match the Single Barrel. It's less than $60 in NC on sale and worth every penny. Welcome to the Top Shelf!
