Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit is a single barrel Wild Turkey product aged somewhere from 8.5ish to 9.5ish years. Its bottled at 101 proof with a mashbill consisting of 75% corn, 13% rye and 12% malt.
Musty. Bouquet of apples - like standing in the orchard. Sweet cream. Almost some root beer here. Lots of vanilla. Deep toffee. Caramel. No real acetone here.
Pretty rich mouthfeel, but some oaky tannins setting in. Drying. Caramel. Oak. Vanilla and a whallop of clove. Theres some interesting funkiness that is hard to explain but it can be best described as musty. Its good, though.
Long, a bit hot, but long and oaky. Sweeter than the others, though, which I really like. This is aligning a bit better to balance the spicy oaky nature of the other samples Ive not been as satisfied with before.
This is really quite different, and I enjoy it. I still dont think Ive hit the holy grail of turkey as this was definitely better than previous WTKS but I didnt shit my pants from glory. That being said, I really liked it. Its easily the best WTKS that Ive had so far. I liked the more complex notes that were in force which makes this an easy Rank 7 for me. Its good. Its Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit Pewter Top release.
