There are intense drying oak flavors, and light almond notes. The finish is long and dry, highlighting nutmeg and a fresh touch of ginger.
It's a smooth, sherry-forward, easy drinker of elegance and style. It won't overpower your palate, it's�sweet and not too spicy, full bodied and rich�- everything you look for in a special occasion whisky to be shared with friends and colleagues. It's a bit overpriced for my liking, but that's Macallan

On the nose this Whisky is spicy and peppery, but theres a richness behind it, with spicy oak and soft orange fruitiness, and soft vanilla notes from the bourbon cask.

America's biggest-selling premium bourbon, the much-loved Wild Turkey 101 is a richly-flavoured concoction with a mellowness that belies its high strength.
An 81 proof (40.5%ABV) bourbon crafted by Wild Turkey associate distiller Eddie Russell, son of master distiller Jimmy. It's a high rye mash matured in heavily charred casks for big flavour at a more approachable ABV than the 101.
I have to say, the flavor of Wild Turkey bourbon is absolutely fantastic. The mix of vanilla, caramel, and a hint of spice that hits you when you bring the glass up to your nose is truly delightful. If youre looking for a bourbon that is genuine and full of flavor
On the nose aged berry jam with desiccated coconut, vanilla cream and toffee. Palate has brown sugar, liquorice toffee and cinnamon impact first, followed by currant jam. This leads into black pepper and herby tarragon with a touch of spearmint. On the finish caramel notes and earthiness with a hint of anise.
Classic Yamazaki strawberries and dried fruits with floral notes coming from the Mizunara cask whisky. Fragrant sandalwood and maybe coconut. Certainly, a whisky where you could get lost in its nose! The dried berries remain lively on the palate (it even develops some raspberry notes along the way), but they're dialed back a bit to make room for light oak, white peach and a small amount of spice. Vanilla lasts and lasts, with spicy but sweet cinnamon acting as a final flourish.
