Episode: Wild Turkey Jimmy Russell 70th Anniversary 8yr 101
Description: Â Finally a straight forward release. It's basically just Wild Turkey 101 with an 8 year age statement to celebrate the longest serving Master Distiller in the bourbon industry. Sure, it's pretty high priced compared to regular Wild Turkey, but I think it's instructive in the sense that REGULAR Wild Turkey is such a great deal and punches WAY above its weight. Fruit, oak, and honey in perfect harmony on the nose. On the palate, woodsy and sweet with a spicy kick on the mid-palate and finish. It's straight forward, not finished, not overaged, perfect whiskey, just the way Jimmy likes it.
