Tasting Notes
Nose:
Bold and fragrant with rich honeyed oak, caramel, and vanilla. Accents of seasoned wood, cigar box, and a touch of rye spice offer depth without overpowering the senses. Ethanol is minimal despite the high proof, allowing the complexity to shine.
Palate:
Opens with a burst of rye spice before unfolding into layers of honey, burnt wood, and vanilla. Deep notes of seasoned oak, tobacco leaf, and caramel develop mid-palate, accented by hints of leather and char. The flavor is powerful, yet balanced—a Wild Turkey hallmark.
Finish:
Long and warming, with cinnamon, lingering rye spice, and sweet notes of vanilla and honey. Oak and spice dominate the backend, with a slightly dry close that underscores its age and intensity.

Tyler Walker –
Russell’s Reserve 2002 15 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey was a good choice for the shelf. It had a bright feel, and the caramel came through without covering up the oak. I would buy it again for guests.
