I wasn’t sure what to expect but this blew me away. It’s up there with the Decades and 17 Year BiB as some of the best Wild Turkey limited releases. Thick mouthfeel, long finish depth of flavor, complexity and balance all shine on this journey of savoriness it takes you on. I was a bit worried of some potential over oaking but the oak is well integrated with the experience. Overall, I wish I had a whole bottle of this, as it is quite a fantastic release from Wild Turkey.
