WTF: Wild Thanksgiving Forgiven…
Shoot Your Turkey This Year With Ice Cubes…
Have a bottle of WTF after breaking bread with those that matter the most…
Accidents can be costly, especially in the bourbon business. So when Wild Turkey realized they had mistakenly blended small batch bourbon with high proof whiskey, people were worried. But then the Associate Master Distiller tasted the accidental blend and declared it worthy of bottling, and a mishap turned into Wild Turkey Forgiven ($50). Forgiven clocks in at 91 proof and makes no apologies, accident or not. It has a spicy, bold taste that finishes unlike most drinks in its category. All is Forgiven, so track down a bottle because this one time foul up isn’t likely to be duplicated.
Blended whiskeys are usually bottom shelf rot-gut IMHO but this is probably an exception to the rule because the unusual approach of blending completely different styles of whiskey together into a single spirit has provided a welcome new frontier. Make no mistake, their flagship bourbon has a very rye-heavy mash bill with an unapologetic high proof to match, is what makes this whiskey a natural for spiking your apple cider and juicing up a hot toddy as the air starts to take on an autumnal briskness.
