April 28, 2023 - I was shocked at how good this was. Beautifully aged dusty notes with the smooth richness and balance that is lost in today's bourbon. The adage "They don't make em like they used to!" certainly applies here.
Give these old Wild Turkeys a try. Excited to try other years, but for now, I'll just say they absolutely killed it in 1979.
