How good is Wild Turkey and which one is the best?

[@lilbump406]

I just picked up my second bottle of Russel's 10. The first was bottle was absolutly delicious.

[@nickv9595]

Russel's 10 year is probably the best buy in bourbon. It's a wonderful expression.

[@BA-pz3lo]

then how come this guy didnt like it? did he get a bad batch?

Yeah, I’m also a big fan of Russel’s 10yr

[@stuffandwhiskey]

We’re simple folks. We see Wild Turkey love, we hit thumbs up. 👍 Turkey is probably our absolute favorite distillery. Hard to beat the value, availability, and quality-the fact that it fits our palates so well is a major bonus. Great video!

[@peterturner5618]

My Dad introduced me to Wild Turkey. For years at deer camp, we would do a blind taste test pitting Wild Turkey against five other bourbons that were much more expensive, including a Paddy's and Wild Turkey never lost!

[@shredward666]

Russell's Reserve single barrel store picks are some of the best bourbon I've ever had 🥃

[@Posterharpua]

same. my favorite single barrel store picks every single year.

[@visionsekr]

101 is my daily, can’t beat it for the price. Love Russell‘s as well.

[@bluelivesmatter719]

Same for me

[@rrayjay5171]

I agree with the comment about Russell’s 10. When I first tried it I wasn’t impressed, and the more I drank it the more I disliked it. With that being said I will finish the bottle.

[@100puremustard5]

Without seeing the end yet I'm saying Russell's SiB... that's my favorite!

[@christopherm.2413]

Same here

[@shredward666]

Damn good Mustard, can't go wrong

[@iqgamelounge6009]

Never had a bad bottle from Wild Turkey. Love their product.

[@somewhere367]

russell's 10 is one of my favorites. I love all 5 of these

[@chriscole7898]

Russels 10 was a fan at first, but developed the funk. Love 101 and adore my Rare Breed. Great video.

[@MichaelC_22]

I just bought my first bottle of Russell's 10. Found it for $32. I have already had 2 bottles of Russell's single barrel, so I guess I went backwards. I actually really like the 10 year. I did a blind with Russell's 10 year and Knob Creek 12 year, and although I picked the 12 year over the 10, I found them to be closer than I would have thought. Now, I kind of consider the Russell's 10 year as a poor man's KC12.

[@WhiskeyRow]

I bought a new bottle of RR10 and will open it soon to see if it is different. I wouldn't be surprised if I got a bad bottle... it happens

[@robmichael8136]

My KC 12 is so dang good. My favorite bourbon for sure because of the complexity of flavor.

[@DongHands84]

Wild Turkey is my second favorite distillery behind Buffalo Trace. I love the spicy sweet cherry notes you get. Russell's Reserve 10 year I actually like more than 101 because the cherry note is not a medicinal one. Rare Breed is my number 1. I tend to stay away from single barrel offerings because I've had a couple bottles, not Wild Turkey products, be subpar. Great video!

[@taunaengus4978]

With my pocketbook I only drink WT 101 and Rare Breed, because I just plain like them a lot. I appreciate your insights.

[@fturla]

I think most Russell's Reserve Single Barrel bottles will out compete the Rare Breed, but it costs 15 to 20 dollars above, so, I understand most people will just stop at the Rare Breed for special occasions and use the Wild Turkey 101 as their all around daily bourbon. I have never seen the Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit in my area, so, I can't give any opinion on that bottle. On occasion, the Wild Turkey 81 will go on sale below 13 bucks, so, that one will not be the best, but it's good enough for entry level whiskey drinkers, and good enough for mixing.

[@jerryroberts631]

I've done this very blind twice and had slighty different results each time. As you said "what tastes good today". IMHO, blinds like these are the hardest because all 5 have the same mashbill. If you did the Wild Turkey ryes in a blind, it'd be much easier due to those subtle nuances not being so subtle. Great job by my favorite channel with my favorite distillery and my favorite bourbon. (#3........are ya kidding me bro?) lol Cheers!

[@david1235102]

Russell's 10yr, Rare Breed, and nice barrel picks of Kentucky Spirit are some of my favorite bourbons out there. Russell's 10 is one of the best values in bourbon.

[@seankelly5570]

Huge fan of Wild Turkey..... I had the pleasure of a great Russels single barrel and have really come to enjoy the Longbranch line.

[@johncwhite]

Congratulations on 5K I've been watching your channel for a wail now and your reviews are well made and spot on. With no B.S.

[@Daniel_Scott89]

I haven’t had any Wild Turkey products I don’t like! You must have a bad RR10yr bc it’s one of my favorites. I love it haha

[@stuartrollings602]

By coincidental colliding of Glencarins I had just opened a Rare Breed to celebrate another day of retirement and saw this older review! Enjoy all the Turkeys but definitely the RB is awesome…. Interesting to see how y’all have grown from 5,000 to current 23,000+. Thanks very much!

[@adamseaman7306]

Yes!!!! Love this blind! Give me any Wild Turkey and I’m happy! All of these are readily available for enjoyment. I also am not a huge 10 year RR fan, but pair with a darker cigar, it’s oak and bitterness takes on a better taste. Cheers! Congrats on the growth. Proud to be a sub since 500.

[@xiamengbaby]

I actually quite like the RR 10 year old. My only gripe is the low proof. I like to mix a little Rare Breed into it. Very tasty! Wish they would make RR 10 year old 101 proof also. I can still get it for $29.99 though most places sell it for $34.99 or higher. To me, it is more rounded, sweeter and a bit more oaky than WT101. WT101 ($21.99 by me) has a youthful funk note that a don't much care for. RR SB is my favorite out of the bunch, but is double the price of the 10 year old. Been a long time since I had the WT KS, but I remember that being really good too. On the cheap end, I think I prefer the 101 rye to the 101 bourbon. I get less funk, and I don't get the harsh whiskey cough that the 101 bourbon gives me. The Early Times BIB has become my favorite cheap bourbon but has become impossible to find near me as well. I did find a bottle last week but had to pay $11 over standard retail for it.

[@WhiskeyRow]

It probably is normally fine. I can give it the benefit of the doubt I got a bad bottle

[@TimSnead223]

I really enjoyed this video. My dad is a “Turkey “ man. Can remember when he first joined the rare breed society in the 90’s.

[@jackrodosta7971]

I LOVE me some Turkey I've got all of them including the Rye,. The Russel's Single Barrel Private Barrel Selection from Spec's is my favorite FANTASTIC!

[@monsantofungaro5704]

101 has always been my favorite. It was the flavor that kept me loyal.

[@garycramer7866]

I just recently found you and seriously I enjoy listening to you keep up the good work

[@peterb.3278]

Great video- I’m a huge Turkey Head!! The Russels Single Barrel is my favorite also. Really like the entire lineup. I do like the Russels 10 as a daily sipper. The interesting thing, is that’s even my friends who aren’t fans of the 10 year love the nose! But that is the beauty of whiskey- we occasionally like different stuff!!! If not we would all be drinking the same 4/5 bottles!

[@christopherm.2413]

I have all the Turkey bottles in this stream except Kentucky Spirit. Been waiting for that one for a while. 101,Rare Breed, Russell's Reserve Singel Barrell are just amazing but I wish Russell's would release the 10 year at 100 proof or above.

[@dane5896]

I had a bottle of the Kentucky Spirit (Old bottle) It was excellent.

[@TRob_1964]

My current favorite is a Russel's Reserve Single barrel store pick. Good review.

[@Bryanp1289]

I love Russel’s 10year.. it’s been my favorite available whiskey

[@andyn8542]

The Russell's 10 I had was excellent - wiped the floor with 101. I guess there are bad bottles somehow. I cannot imagine Jimmy and Eddie Russell putting out a bad product.

[@gerardosanchez6201]

100% agree. Russell's 10 is worlds above 101. I recently bought one of each and the difference is night and day.

[@FriarPop]

I know its not considered the best by experts but I love Russells 10 the best of all of them so I must have got some good bottles, I just wish the proof was a bit higher. Many rate these as russells sb>rare breed>kentucky spirtit>russels 10> 101. I find WildTurkey a bit too sweet in general though.

[@johncashion8428]

Congrats on 5,000 subscribers! Enjoyed the review!

[@GrAYvTrAnE]

My WT journey goes like this. Rare Breed was my first, I was impressed, but I wanted something cheaper and more available. Enter Russell's 10, mine is delicious, this sparked my curiosity and I was like...I need this as a daily but rRussells is just a little high $ and a little too scarce for a daily. Enter 101.....I stopped here, it ticks all the boxes for me, I guess I'm a WT guy

[@walte58]

I did this same video about a month ago and It's good to see other opinions. I couldn't get the Kentucky Spirit, but had the Longbranch instead. I really like WT products and it was fun to do a blind tasting. Great video. Congrats on 5K.

[@shekatagani]

I'm not a real sophisticated Bourbon drinker but I know what I like and my two favorites, which are quite different are Jack Daniels Gentleman Jack and Wild Turkey 101

[@rayk1411]

Good stuff! Have you ever has a store pick of the RR SiB? Those seem to have much more depth for me than the regular RR SiB.

[@TomGrello]

Just found you, subscribed immediately! 101 is Fantastic! 80% of my pours are 101!

[@coltknight3945]

I'm torn between my bottle of Russell's single barrel and Wild Turkey Single barrel. The wild turkey single barrel is so smooth and buttery, but that Russell's has higher proof and more complex flavors

Awesome comparison. I have not tried WT 101, but had my fair share of the other ones. I agree 100 % with the ranking. Russell's single barrel is on of my favorites.

[@StevOPelO]

WT101 is the best of the bunch when you look at the $

[@ericgarvin5678]

I’ve got 2 of the Russell’s single barrel picks. Both are good but 1 is phenomenal.

[@sweetsinnndy5201]

The only two I have tried are WT101 and Russells 10 year. I think the Russells blows away WT101, but to each his own. Going to try the Rare Breed next

[@ismosm5516]

My favorite of the bunch is definitely the Kentucky Spirit. I’ll have to find a Russell’s SB at some point.

[@paulbourgeois6997]

Love the Russell’s 10. Not bad imo.

Great lineup! Russells 10 makes my favorite old-fashioned, try it out!

[@Razieleatssouls]

Purchased my first Russell's 10 and I'd say it's good but not great. I wish the proof was higher, but it is an easy sipper at 90. I got a deal finding it for $30 since it goes for $42 in my area. I don't think I'd buy again for more than $35.

[@shell41arotc]

My favorite distillery. Would love to see something similar for the ryes (podsible I'm missing it). Love Rare Breed rye.

[@donaldheine6243]

I generally don't like the Russels flavor profile as much as WildbTurkey. I have a Russels single barrel 10 that's just ok. I'm almost hesitant to try any more Russels product. I am going to try the Rye at some point. I love Wild Turkey rare breed. I think they should release the non chill filtered version. Wild Turkey just isn't doing a lot. There are no new realeses that I'm waiting for in excitement and I think they are missing the boat.

[@benturner6588]

WT 101 was my first WT product. I currently have R 10 year. I do enjoy it, but I'm anxious to try something else they offer if the others are showing to be better. The Rare Breed is probably going to be my next WT purchase.

[@rcruz1211]

I think I’ve slept on 101 for too long, time to grab a bottle!

[@mw906]

youre right about the russell 10. my least favorite WT. you would think a 10 year would have more body but since its at 90 proof, the watering down makes it taste flat.

[@gaylemcgee2221]

I have several Wild Turkey products but I just am not a fan of the WT 101 for some reason. I like Rare Breed more. Honestly, I thought WT 101 was going to win bcuz you've raved about in many of ur videos. I guess I was wrong again. I did enjoy watching this video.
