An impressive showing from Wild Turkey. This is some pretty tasty stuff. Quite different from current offerings for sure, mustier, a bit fruitier, and really heavy on the butterscotch with very little of the Wild Turkey funk I find from most modern offerings. However, while quite good, its just different from modern day stuff. I’ve had plenty of Russel Reserve Single Barrel just as good and better than this dusty bottling.
