Picture real honey melting into warm bourbon and you've basically got this in a glass. It's sweet, it's smooth, and it goes down like a treat, not a dare. Pour it cold over ice after a long day, or slide it into a cocktail when you want bourbon's backbone without the bite. Late-night, easygoing, no fuss. We'll have it at your door fast.
First hit is bright citrus, think orange peel and a squeeze of lemon, then a wave of pure honey rolls in. Underneath sits the Wild Turkey bourbon: soft vanilla, a little caramel, the faintest warm spice. It's properly sweet and sticky in a good way, more honey-syrup than fiery whiskey. The finish is short, gentle and sweet, so it never bullies you. Think dessert in a glass with a quiet bourbon hum behind it.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Wild Turkey in Kentucky, and the man behind it is legend Jimmy Russell. Back in 1976, when bourbon was deeply unfashionable, Russell mixed pure honey into the distillery's whiskey and made it the first honey-flavoured bourbon liqueur in the US. It launched as Wild Turkey Honey Liqueur and got the American Honey name in 2006. The bourbon at its heart is aged four years before the honey ever goes in.
