Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 진한 캐러멜과 바닐라, 호밀의 알싸한 향신료가 명확하게 드러난다. 팰럿에서는 라이 비중이 높은 와일드 터키답게 계피와 정향, 잘 구운 오크의 단맛이 차례로 드러나며 짜임새가 탄탄하다. 101 프루프, 50.5도의 도수가 풍미를 묵직하게 끌어올린다. 피니시는 오크 타닌과 향신료의 매콤함이 길게 남으며, 1986년에 병입된 올드 보틀링의 진중한 캐릭터가 분명하다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
I wouldn’t say you’ve got that old ‘OBE’ kind of thing with bourbon; they either kept very well or are flat dead, but I’m not sure they really ‘evolve’ in glass as much as Scotch whiskies do. This has some cake, touches of cardboard, some meatier coconut too (teriyaki sauce as well?) and whiffs of mushrooms in the woods, as well as some metallic notes (old rusty tin box). The jury’s still out…
restaurant Palate
good, a little earthier than contemporary offerings, with notes of fermented tea, cocoa pods, coffee dregs… In short it’s very dry and perhaps not very sexy. Perhaps for die-hard bourbon specialists only?
timer Finish
medium and dry. A drop of soy sauce and one of mint syrup, then coffee and ‘sucking your Gauloise’. A very French thing, but if I remember well, Wild Turkey used to belong to Pernod until they sold it on to Campari, around 2010
