Great video, I’ve had all 3 and the cheesy gold foil is the best bourbon that I have had. I would put the score spread between cheesy gold foil and RR15 at more than 1 point on my scale. I feel like they are in a different category. Cheers 🥃
I was darn close to inching up to a 90+ by the time the camera was off and I was actually finishing the glass, I'll be honest. 😂 I suppose I agree and disagree with you! These are almost different categories, yes: as I say, this old 12 tastes does behave more like a Cognac or Armagnac than a modern bourbon. That said, if you suspend the huge difference in style and just pay attention to the complexity, the balance, the presence, the finish, I feel like the modern Turkeys are closer than you'd think. (That said, who knows, there are better and worse batches of this CGF 12 out there...)
Last weekend, I saw the Russell's 15 at a store for $350. I passed. For me, a good Red Label store pick can rival many of the LE's, which is a testament to Turkey's core range.
I've never had the Japan-only 12yo 101, so that's a question for bigger nerds than me. It is a descendant of the gold foil series, however, and I'm fairly certain that it's not gonna suck. 😂🦃
Do you recommend the 12 year 101? I’m going to Taiwan soon where they also sell it. I love the core WT range, but I’m not in looking for allocated or rare bourbons. Currently, my shopping cart is all Taiwanese IBs: Benromach, Ardmore, Bunna, Foursquare, and a Campbeltown blend. The latter is equivalently priced to the WT 12 year so I’m debating it!
I'd probably second the WT12, despite never having tasted it. Campbeltown blends aren't that uncommon, honestly, but reasonably priced old Turkey is...

@@differentspirits4157 yes good point. For the overall quality of the experience, the three aren’t that far off from each other.

I agree. You're getting more for these crazy bottlings, yes, but not _that_ much more. Which seems to be endemic throughout the industry, really...
You look younger all of a,sudden
Is that Wild Turkey 12yo somewhat similar to the Japan exclusive Wild Turkey 12 Years?
