Tasting Notes by Pierre_W
Wild Turkey is distilled and bottled by Austin Nichols & Co., a division of the Campari Group. Rare Breed is one of the premium releases in the Wild Turkey range, a marriage of 6-, 8- and 12-year old stocks, resulting in an undiluted, cask-strength Bourbon. This review refers to a bottle from batch no. W-T-01-99.
The nose is incredibly sweet, yielding molasses, honey, oranges and some vanilla. There is also a peppery touch to it. This is unlike anything I have ever smelled before. Clearly, this is a big, big nose!
The palate is full-bodied, thick and very creamy. With the sweetness come oranges, vanilla and a hint of tobacco.
The finish is long, warm, fruity and spicy. I detected honey and dark chocolate.
Without doubt this is a big and assertive whiskey! It is almost perfectly balanced, I should say, but a little too sweet for my taste.
