The Distillery: Wild Turkey

Wild Turkey
Wild Turkey
Wild Turkey
Situated in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, the Wild Turkey Distillery is an exceptional example for a Whiskey distillery that follows its own vision of how Bourbon has to be: characterful, very aromatic and last but not least full of power! It hasn’t been very long that the distillery is called like the famous American bird. Before known as Ripy Distillery, it is now named after the brand that Austin, Nichols & Co developed. In 1940s Manager Thomas McCarthy, Manager of Austin Nichols, carried samples of his new Bourbon with him when he went to hunt wild turkeys with his friends. Soon they started to call it the “Wild Turkey” Whiskey and McCarthy decided to use this nick to be the brand name for his Bourbon Whiskey. read more

    Aroma: Pear Vanilla Caramel leichte Tabaknoten

    Geschmack: Pear Vanilla Caramel

    Abgang: Sehr angenehm herb mit deutlicher hervor tretenden Tabaknoten

    Kommentar: Für mich durch die deutlich hervor tretenden Birne in der Nase und im Geschmack nicht der klassische Bourbon. Sehr leckererer Wiskey mit top PLV. Insgesamt recht kräftig im Geschmack, dank der 50,5 %

    Aroma: Sweet Vanilla Caramel Herbs Herb

    Geschmack: Sweet Vanilla Oil Spices Pepper

    Abgang: Oak Spices

    Kommentar: Nicht so komplex wie z.B. der "Rare Breed" aus der gleichen Brennerei, aber dennoch geeignet zum pur genießen. PLV ist auch gut.
