Taster

Nose: Dry and spicy with treacle, cigar smoke/ash. Pretty dry.

Palate: As the nose suggests, dry and tight with a little honeyed lushness mid-palate.

Finish: Long and sweet.

Comment: Firm and dry, but has none of Wild Turkey's signature depth and sweet power.

Score: 8

Taster

Nose: Aromatic. Polished leather.

Palate: Big. Smooth. Almost slippery at first, then developing an interesting interplay of sweetness and dryness. Cereal grains. Pecan nuts. Tobacco-like.

Finish: Spicy. Toothsome.

Comment: No fancy tricks here but a big, complex, regular bourbon.

Score: 8
