Wild Turkey 12 Year Bourbon (Japan Release)
Description:
A legendary expression revered among whiskey aficionados, Wild Turkey 12 Year Bourbon (Japan Release)embodies the pinnacle of craftsmanship from the Wild Turkey Distillery. This exceptional bourbon, also known as the “12-Year Red Label” in collector circles, was exclusively bottled for the Japanese market, a region known for its refined whiskey palate. With an extended maturation period of 12 years in heavily charred American oak barrels, this bourbon achieves a profound depth, offering a rich and complex profile that remains both bold and elegant.
Crafted under the meticulous guidance of Master Distiller Jimmy Russell, this limited-release bourbon showcases Wild Turkey’s signature high-rye mash bill with a remarkable balance of spice, sweetness, and oak influence. The additional years in the barrel contribute to a well-rounded, velvety texture with layers of caramel, vanilla, and dried fruit, making it one of the most sought-after expressions in Wild Turkey’s storied lineup.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: A beautifully layered bouquet of dark caramel, toasted oak, and dried cherries, with hints of orange zest, tobacco, and baking spices.
Palate: A luxurious mouthfeel unfolds with notes of butterscotch, rich toffee, and vanilla, intertwined with dark chocolate, cinnamon, and charred oak. A perfect harmony of rye spice and sweet, deep caramelized sugars.
Finish: Exceptionally long and warming, leaving traces of spice, leather, and sweet oak, with a lingering touch of dark fruit and honeyed tobacco.
Serving Suggestions:
To fully appreciate its rare complexity, Wild Turkey 12 Year Bourbon (Japan Release) is best enjoyed neat in a Glencairn glass, allowing the aromas to fully develop. A few drops of water can open up additional layers of sweetness and spice. For those who prefer a chilled experience, serving it over a large, clear ice cube enhances its smoothness while preserving its bold character.
