Wild Turkey Tradition

Type: Bourbon

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 50.5%

Score: 91 Points

Jimmy Russell watched over this bourbon until it hit 14 years of age, and just 14,000 bottles were released in the U.S. The nose is subtle with hints of cinnamon, vanilla, molasses, and a hint of almonds. The taste is smooth and spicy, with a peppery blast that fades to show hints of vanilla, molasses, and a touch of oak. The finish is sweet with a touch of maple syrup and a hint of spice.
