Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is Kentucky bourbon at full strength: a blend of 6-, 8- and 12-year-old barrels from Wild Turkey Distillery, bottled at 116.8 proof (58.4% ABV) without dilution. That uncut approach is the point. The nose opens on caramel, vanilla, honey and toasted oak with a dusting of baking spice, and the palate follows through with bold caramel and vanilla, cinnamon, black pepper and dried fruit over rich oak, finishing long and warm. It suits the drinker who already knows what they like in bourbon and wants to taste it without the edges sanded down, and it rewards a little experimentation: neat, then with a few drops of water, then over a large cube. It also earns a spot on the cocktail bar, where its concentration lets a stirred Old Fashioned or Manhattan hold its shape. If barrel proof is new to you, this is a clear, honest introduction to the style. We carry it because it shows what a corn-dominant mash bill and new charred oak deliver when nothing gets in the way.
Pairs well with
- Pecan pie — The pie's toasted, sugary depth echoes the bourbon's caramel, honey and baking spice.
- Peppercorn-crusted steak — The whiskey's black pepper and rich oak stand up to a charred, peppery crust.
- Slow fireside evening — A long, warm finish with lingering spice is made for unhurried sipping on a cold night.

Both work well. A few drops of water open up the caramel, vanilla and spice, and one large cube tempers the heat. In an Old Fashioned or Manhattan, use a little less than the usual pour since it is strong.
