Wild Turkey 8 year old 101 Proof, 50.5%

This aged-stated expression was long sold only abroad—until earlier this year, when it returned to the U.S. for the first time since 1992. Vanilla, tobacco, cigar ash, and warehouse floor on the nose. The well-proofed palate offers peanut oil, red berries, bananas, tobacco, and pepper spice. The finish is pleasantly long and full, creamy, and packed with spice. Rich and mouth-filling—this is Jimmy Russell’s favored dram, and we can see why.
