Wild Turkey 101 - The Whiskey Roundup

Wild Turkey 101

In honor of 101 Day happening just last week, I decided to feature Wild Turkey 101 in the Whiskey Roundup this week! Despite it sounding like a hot bourbon with a proof of 101, WT101 is one of the smoothest, most drinkable whiskies out there, and at an extremely fair price too.

This is one hell of a whiskey flight lineup, and for the money you probably won't be able to beat it anywhere. Plus, looking at some pictures of the Roosevelt Hotel, it is a damn nice looking place to stay and soak in some New Orleans hospitality!

Wild Turkey season may be April in Louisiana but at the Roosevelt we have a special treat! #bourbon #weekend #wildturkey #staycation #experience pic.twitter.com/ErMQ40N2Nk

I've been listening to a lot of podcasts lately, and not just about bourbon. I think I just found my new favorite. Can't wait to start giving it a listen.

This is a quandary worth investigating. The Wild Turkey 81 is good, but why not go for a proven classic and step up for the WT101? The price isn't that much different between the two. You could even get both and do a side by side comparison without breaking the bank. Think about it. 

Photo evidence of a common head scratcher at my local liquor store where WT81 is regularly out of stock but WT101 is plentiful 😂

This is a fine whiskey that I would love to get my hands on. Wild Turkey Rare Breed carries a score of 93 from the Beverage Testing Institute. Looking at my local store prices, it runs around $45, so it's not going to break the bank, it's just a matter of finding it in the wild. 

A drop of Rare Breed 112.8 proof. In traditional Wild Turkey style the cork snapped on me as well 😧 luckily I keep old corks for just this occasion 👍#Bourbon #Whiskey #WildTurkey pic.twitter.com/EnIZxNWMOr

Whiskey Roundup 07/14/19 to 07/20/19

Every Saturday I go through Twitter with #whiskey and roundup my favorite whiskey articles!
These are may favorites for this week!

It would be pretty awesome to sit down with Chris Hayes for any whiskey and beer pairing, or even just to talk about whiskey for a few minutes!

All set and ready to go with @TeelingWhiskey European Brand Ambassador Chris Hayes for tonight's 'Whiskey and Beer' pairing event in @57theheadline#irishwhiskey #craftbeer#whiskey #whisky pic.twitter.com/JXa8WZOxu3

A view like this can really help you reset after a long week! I'm working on fixing up my backyard to improve my view. I already have the whiskey!

There’s nothing like a good view and a great #bourbon. What’s on deck for your #WhiskeyWednesday?
...oh, also, new episode’s out featuring John Edwards of @BourbonDads . It’s a good time, so check it out!#ThisIsMyBourbonPodcast #Kentucky #Whiskey #Whisky #WildTurkey pic.twitter.com/VZDzTgEybT

I've never had a bad beer from Dogfish Head. I can only imagine that their whiskey will be the same. I'm hoping it will make it's way to Houston!

Dogfish Head's new whiskey tour ends with patrons pouring and labeling their own bottle of whiskey! Learn more about the distilling process at https://t.co/FBmJsgNuhT. #dogfishhead #dogfishspirits #offcentered #whiskey #netde #miltonde #visitde… https://t.co/9DyIRfxV89 pic.twitter.com/GrYtHCCV5n

Two things. I need a bar and a whiskey like this in my life!

🥃WHISKEY OF THE WEEK🥃

Single Malt Irish Whiskey enhanced with French Limousin Oak, has been initially matured in ex-Bourbon barrels, imparting flavours of “malt and biscuit”, and in a first for the category, has been part-finished in French Limousin oak for one year#whiskey pic.twitter.com/xOFdKw23uj

I couldn't agree more. Never had a daiquiri that I liked. They have too much sugar. They only belong on a beach on an island, and even then, look for a local beer. Plus, Glen Dronach Original 12 is one of my favorite Scotches!

It’s National Daiquiri Day! But we chose to pour some of The GlenDronach Original 12 year. @Glendronach @GlenDronachUSA #whisky #whiskey pic.twitter.com/VU1h1ahP55

There's just something about a clear sky full of stars, a good bottle of whiskey, good conversation and a camp fire if you're lucky. These quiet evenings are better than almost any other!

All i need is a sky full of stars, a full moon, a good company and a quality bottle of #whiskey#moroccan_travellers
