From father to son, the Bourbon making mastery represented in this bottle is a true testament to their distilling legacy & their strength of family tradition.

What critics and judges wrote
Whisky Advocate · Shane English · 2024
The palate is sweet and nutty, with candied walnuts, pecan pie, oak, and tobacco. Each sip is well balanced, with the sweet, savory, and earthy flavors coming together harmoniously and without any jostling.

The nose tickles with caramel, spice, vanilla, and earthiness … The long, enjoyable finish is earthy, but there’s an unwanted bitterness at the end that cannot be denied. If not for the bitter end, this would rate much higher.
This new expression is more elegant, with lighter sugars (honey, cotton candy, caramel, maple syrup), more fruit (candied orange, pineapple, coconut), and creamy vanilla. A tame expression of Wild Turkey …
Distiller · Rob Morton
A nose of cinnamon, butter, roasted wood and vanilla with a palate consisting of a complex oaky sweetness alongside orange, dark chocolate, leather and baking spices. The finish is long with oh-so-sweet maple and sugar notes.

IWSC judges · Gold · 2016
The nose gives notes of cherry stones, strawberry and rich black forest gateaux … The palate is fruity with a drying element of eucalyptus, mint and basil. The finish is robust and oaky, and medium dry.

Inviting aromas of vanilla and poached pears lead to a delicate palate of muscovado sweetness and roasted almonds, finishing with a light, creamy warmth.
Delicate floral nose. Light layered palate with notes of stewed fruit. Sweet with a short finish.
