This is a limited release from Wild Turkey, there were 25 barrels aged at the Camp Nelson Site. These barrels were aged for 15 years, bottled at cask strength, were non-chill filtered, and had no color added. Let’s see how this release holds up.
ABV: 57.3%
Nose: Heavy Spice, Black Pepper, Candied Orange Peel, slight Mustiness, Tobacco leaf, Oak Spice, Slight Cherry Cola,
Palate: Medium mouthfeel, warm. Heavy rye spice, orange peel, slight cherry, heavy oak spice,
Finish: Medium length. Light honey, rye spice, orange peel, faint must, oak spice, lingering pops of vanilla cream.
Rating: 6/10
This leans towards the savory spectrum here with lots of spice, tons of oak, and the occasional fruit and honey popping in. The nose is fantastic and the best part of the experience, I just wish that it continued throughout. The good flavors are here and it is unmistakably a quality turkey product, but it does not rise up to something like Masterkeep Decades or the Masterkeep 17 Year Bottled in Bond for me.
