Review: Wild Turkey Diamond Anniversary Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Wild Turkey 
Diamond Anniversary Kentucky Straight Bourbon
91 Proof | 750 mL
For the past sixty years Jimmy Russell handcrafted the legendary Wild Turkey. To honor his dedication, hard work, and brilliance as a bourbon legend his son Eddie Russell hand selected barrels and blended a beautifully balanced high rye bourbon that sings accolades to his father’s expertise as the “Master Distiller’s Master Distiller.”  The Diamond Anniversary, aged for 13 to 16 years in newly charred American Oak, lends itself rich vanilla tannins, toffee, and rye spice with subtle burnt orange, candied apple, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

At 91 proof this bourbon shines with sophisticated poise. I recommend buying two, one to sip and the other to treasure.

Cheers to you Jimmy for all the magnificent Bourbon you have created! - Casey Teague, Whisk(e)y Specialist, H&F Bottle Shop
