Description

This is an older bottling of Wild Turkey's signature 8 year old age statement, bottled in 1988. It embodies the bold and smooth character that Wild Turkey is renowned for, matured in new, charred American oak barrels. Older editions like this are sought after for their distinct taste profile compared to modern Wild Turkey bottles, reflecting production changes over the years, such as the phasing out of cypress wood tanks and changes in barrel entry proof.

Nose
Rich aromas of vanilla, caramel, and oak, with notes of dates, cherries, cola, honey, nectarine, and sometimes a 'vegetal funk' typical of 1980s Wild Turkey.
Palate
A harmonious blend of sweet honey, spicy cinnamon, toasted nuts, vanilla, wood polish, maple, dark caramel, brown sugar, and sometimes notes of salted butter, walnuts, pie crust, wet cardboard, old port, black tea, florals, dark chocolate, and a peppery heat.
Finish
Long and smooth with a hint of smoky char, caramel-maple sweet, slightly salty, with notes of red hots, pepper, ginger, bergamot, blood orange, raisin, spice, molasses, port, and orange creamsicle.
