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
