Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit

Pros: Two high proof bourbons with exceptional flavors.
Cons: Two high proof bourbons, be careful!

Most of you who've read my other liquor reviews, already know that I've never been a big fan of whiskey, too much of those icky shoe polish and rubbing alcohol flavors for my taste. However, I've decided that whiskey and bourbons are just too popular to ...

Pros: Potent, balanced rich flavor, very attractively priced.
Cons: None really. This is a good Bourbon for the money.

Is the term Bourbon Whiskey something that you find confusing? Well, there is nothing here to get all befuddled about.

Bourbon is an American whiskey that has been traditionally made in Bourbon County, Kentucky. Unlike other...

Pros: Drunk
Cons: Drunk

You are about to witness a rather exciting experiment. I have just purchased a bottle of Wild Turkey Kentucky Straight Bourbon—the monkey’s personal drink of choice—from my local liquor store where they managed to ram me for close to seven dollars for...

Pros: Mellow, balanced bourbon made for mixing and perfect with a splash of soda.
Cons: 101 proof = be careful; burns like heck if taken straight.

This is one of the finest bourbons on the market. Period. No exceptions. One of the things that's always confused me is that this stuff has gotten a bum rap over the years. Wild Turkey seems to be associated with unsavory scenes such as one in which...

Pros: Excellent quality to price ratio. Readily available in most places.
Cons: Undeserved bad reputation. Not having any on hand.

Some people may find it surprising that Ben Franklin hated the bald eagle and wanted the wild turkey for our national bird. Now, as much as I respect the man and his accomplishments, that was definitely one suggestion I'm glad never caught on when it ...

Pros: A good honest quality bourbon with just enough kick and bite.
Cons: Not good mixed with anything.

First off let me tell y'all that I'm not gonna go into the aroma or amber hue and all that other stuff. This ain't fancy French wine, this is Kentucky Straight Bourbon! I've been in love with this product for years, sometimes a little too much, but ...

Pros: One of life's little treasures
Cons: You lose a thousand neurons per ounce consumed.

The pleasure of the moment is what makes life enjoyable. The reason to drink Wild Turkey is to enjoy the pleasure of the moment. Wild Turkey is for savoring not swilling. It is much the same pleasure I get from a great cup of coffee, a high quality ...

Pros: The best money can buy
Cons: Not for the weak of heart

As American as apple pie, Wild Turkey is the best. There aren't words enough in the English language to fully describe the pleasure one gets just from the smell, nevermind the taste. There has never been anything quite like it, and if our merciful...

Pros: All around perfection
Cons: Whiskey-can lead to problems with the uninitiated

A strong, full bodied American spirit, Wild Turkey has been the source of bizarre behavior, blackouts, screaming fights, and some of the best writing I have ever done.
Hi folks, I'm consummate drunk Erik berg. You may remember me from other...

Pros: Well made whisky
Cons: I don't have any in the house right now

Wild Turkey is a good example of a whisky that has as one of its constituent grains a high proportion of rice. It gives the whisky a bit more bite and a little less sweetness. Contrast this with bourbons like Maker's Mark which is a little sweeter and...

Pros: Smooth, great for parties and relaxing alone.
Cons: If you're not used to 101 proof, it'll nail you hard.

"And while you're at the store," my old landlord used to say, "pick me up a bottle of that fine, expensive whiskey." Of course he was talking about Austin Nichols Wild Turkey Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey--101 Proof. That was back when I was a beer...

Pros: Mellow flavor with no aftertaste
Cons: DO NOT TAKE STRAIGHT THE FIRST TIME!

I'll admit it, I love Wild Turkey. When I first started drinking I was
completely dedicated to Captain Morgan. I liked it. It was smooth, and
mixed well. Then one day I was speaking with a friend of mine who was
a bartender and we were...

Pros: second only to Makers Mark
Cons: strong stuff so be careful

This is one of the best bourbons that I have ever had the pleasure to drink. It is not my favorite that is Makers Mark,but it comes in a close second plus it is a lot cheaper at around 20 dollars as opposed to Maker's Mark's thirty dollars. It is my...

Pros: Hmmm. Nope.
Cons: Yeah!

Not pleasant to drink. There is a foul sourness or metallic taste to it. Besides that, totally uninteresting. This is not something I drink for pleasure, only to get a slight buzz before bed time so that I will sleep better, but it doesn't do much for me there either, so now I'm looking for my bottle to empty out, which will take some time because I bought the big jug. No, pass this brown fluid by. The Wild Turkey Rye is much much better. Now there is a whiskey I can drink with pleasure. But I don't have it.

Pros: Very affordable, consistent, notes of corn, caramel, smoky oak and vanilla
Cons: None that I know of

Very few things in life can you depend on, but the consistent quality of Wild Turkey 101 is one of them. Straight forward, well made, corn liquor. Tasting of corn and caramel smoke and vanilla, like bourbon ought to. With a little nibble on the end to remind you that it is indeed bourbon. The bottle from last week tasted just like the bottle of 30 years ago. In this age of "small batch bourbons" this whiskey stands up to any one of them with the same recipe they have used from the beginning. It sure is nice to be able to depend on something
