Luckily for me, I have a friend who has helped me get a taste of it so I could do a review and share my thoughts. So after doing my research to see which bottles of Turkey are tops, I landed on this bottle of Rare Breed you see before you. I’ve also fallen in love with a lot of the old bourbon made at Bernheim. My preference seems to lean towards the ones made by National Distillers during the same time periods as dusty Turkey. It’s not like I don’t like dusties either. It’s a sin to say anything other than “Amazing!” when drinking a gifted pour. Unfortunately I found out the hard way that your friends are only going to pour you so much of their prized Wild Turkey if you keep making the faces I did when tasting them. Maybe that would help acclimate my tongue to begin to like old Wild Turkey flavors. I have never thought of myself as a Turkey fanboy as a result.Įveryone tastes things differently and I figured I just needed more experience with them. I have had maybe two dozen different examples of bottles from the 1970s all the way up until 2004… and I’ve only been truly impressed with maybe 3 of them.įor me, Wild Turkey from decades ago lacked sweetness, tasted like they were made with twice the amount of rye that the mash bill would indicate and were sometimes bitter. I’m going to start this review off the only way I know how, by insulting the large group of enthusiasts that love dusty Wild Turkey.
