      I bought it on praise only, can't wait to taste it on New year's Eve. It normally goes for about 22 EUR in our contry, bought it for 18, was on sale, so if the taste is as good as everyone says, I'll be impressed.

    I’ve tried much more expensive bourbons, bought a few. But WT101 just agrees with me. I find it more palatable, better tasting and just more enjoyable than almost every other bourbon I’ve tried in the under $50 category. Such a great value.

    I'm hooked on WT 101 and Rear Breed. You can keep those high priced out of reach labels, I've never been a label guy anyways. You may have done this before but you should do some blind tastings kind of a "bottom shelf" or low priced vs "top shelf" or over priced thing.

    • @MrCoffeekelly
      @MrCoffeekelly 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I agree. Most of the higher priced bottles I've bought have been extremely disappointing. The only bottle I have no problem spending more than 45 bucks for is Woodford double oaked. Other than that I'm satisfied with with wild turkey products and occasional bottle of Buffalo trace or old Forrester 100. I can find buffalo trace here usually for the same price as wt 101, so I usually always have both on hand.

Couple months later tried again, I picked it up in a different county, even worse, pitched that one also. It's been a year, I saw your vid pop up. Bottle change. I'll give one more try & being a bass player who locks in with the drummer. When I run across it again I all snag one, I wasn't even looking & picked it up today. I'm looking forward to WT again.

    I just tried this in little airplane bottles (as well as a few other whiskeys i hadnt tried before) as i spent the last 10 days in a hotel room.
    Initially, i didnt buy a full bottle of whiskey and went for the airplane shooters because i didnt think id finish the bottle off in 10 days.
    After sampling WT, i decided i couldnt buy a bottle because i would drink way too much of it.

    The new bottle is a definite improvement. Always my favorite bourbon!

    I'm fairly new to whiskey in general, especially drinking it neat. Found it on sale so decided to give it a try. Given the proof, this is really non-bitey. It's pretty sweet as well. Much more pleasant to drink that I recall regular Wild Turkey being. As an edit: Tried mixing with this and I really prefer it neat. It's marvelous sipping as a desert drink given it's sweet corn note. Just be careful, because that ABV is darn well hidden.

      regular wild turkey tastes like cardboard compared to 101. so good its my daily driver.

    I had to get up and pour a WT101 for this video. My wife made fun of me but it was well worth it. Love this stuff. It is the bottle I compare my higher $ purchases to. Thanks for the vids. Love ‘em.

    I'm a bourbon person and I've honestly tried to enjoy it for the longest time; to me it has an oily, turpentine characteristic to it. While back I got a bottle of it, poured a glass and got distracted for almost an hour. Came back to it after it DECANTERED holy shit it was good! I now keep it 8n a decanter and it's a game changer for me!

    I have some rare breed that's been sitting around for a year. Just haven't gotten that wild turkey note yet on my tastes buds. I've went from Irish whiskey to EJ TAYLOR to Belle Mead cherry casks to Scotch. And some where missed the turkey. You got me interested in the 101. I'll have to break down and try it.

    Vanilla caramel buttery toffee spice cinnamon oak citrus. Like makers without cherry but with vanilla

    I honestly love buying 101 if I plan on drinking during a Friday or Saturday evening. It's great quality for the price and can be quite fun if your plan is to get drunk. It's great on the rocks, without rocks, or if you're doing shots with some friends.

  • @davidowen2834

    Don’t get many bourbon choices where I am in Germany but the 101 and four roses single barrel are readily available and I like both of these, especially for the price. Great review Jason

  • @davidjenkins4453
    @davidjenkins4453 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Your description of this could not be more accurate. This stuff really is that good and in my opinion easily holds up to many of the bottles we're willing to "wait in line" for. And it's like $25!!!

      Amen. I tried this for the 1st time about a month ago....went out today & bought a bottle. I personally think it's as good as Blantons.

    WT101 holds its own in all categories. In agreement with everything Jason said in the video: tired of high prices, tired of hunting bottles and tired of the secondary market and all that entails. WT101 can be served neat, over ice or used in any whiskey cocktail. What more can anyone ask for a 25 buck product? And I can FIND it anywhere. This is always in the home bar as well as Four Roses. I would put those two bottles up against anything
