  • The finish with this whiskey has a lingering richness of spice and bold notes of toasted oak.

  • It’s set up to be a great run, but the approach softens toward the finish with muted brown sugar appearing.

  • Whiskey Consensus
  • By Eric Stumbo
  • I believe Wild Turkey 101 sets out to be the “working man’s” pour and it does a great job at that, but what really impresses me is that is has enough substance to be enjoyed on the enthusiast level.

  • This is nice. Not as complex as some, but also richer than some.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Grains, caramel, toffee. Almost some nice salted caramel. Theres a bit of ethanol here but its balanced nicely with some coffee, caramel and vanilla. Really rich and well blended.

  • Taste:

    Medium mouthfeel, clove and spice are here in spades. Lots of vanilla and toffee.

  • Finish:

    Short, theres some heat here but it quickly fades to blend nicely with the sweet notes.

  • Overall:

    This is nice. Not as complex as some, but also richer than some. Im not sure what to peg it as but I do like it more than last reviews so Im going to rank it a 6. That one did seem to be an odd outlier but this is definitely modern, even if its not the most modern iteration.
