Wild Turkey 101

Tonight's review is of Wild Turkey 101 which I picked up because it was comparable in price to the Evan's from the same store and I wanted to see the differences.

Cost: 19.98 at FoodMax (take it to the max)

Method: Neat
Color: tan-orange. Like 90's sunglasses. 
Alcohol Content: 
Nose: fruity, candy apple, hints of vanilla
Taste: lemon, sugar, burning on the swallow.
Finish: 

Notes: This is pretty harsh for a bourbon. It'is sweet in your mouth. And so long as you keep it in your mouth it doesn't hurt. But the minute you swallow it your throat feels like the golden brick road to Chernobyl. It doesn't taste bad. None of it tastes bad. It's just for the first five seconds I was afraid I was going to die. 

For the second five seconds I was afraid I *wouldn't*.

Previous to tonight I had only had it in a whiskey sour. It was great in a whiskey sour. I would not drink this straight. 

Straight score: 70/100. Not undrinkable but be prepared. 

WHISKEY SOUR RECIPE.
