Wild Turkey – 81 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (70cl, 40.5%)

This is Wild Turkey 81 Proof, a Kentucky straight bourbon bottled at 40.5%. It was first made by Eddie Russell, who is in the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame. The bourbon is aged in American white oak barrels with the deepest, No. 4 'alligator' char. It is described as having sweet vanilla, pear and hints of spice. The nose and palate both show deep vanilla with caramel and oak. The finish lingers, with soft oak and notes of dried fruit.
