Sipping on History: Wild Turkey Honey, Old vs. New

Vintage vs. Modern: Wild Turkey Honey Liqueur Showdown!

Step back in time with us as we open a rare bottle of Wild Turkey Liqueur with Honey from the 1990s! We’re putting this vintage 60-proof spirit head-to-head against today’s popular Wild Turkey American Honey to see how this iconic brand has evolved.

Join us for a fascinating tasting as we compare the flavor, aroma, and character of these two honey-infused bourbons. Will the 90s-era bottle deliver a cloying, syrupy blast of nostalgia, or a more subtle, bourbon-forward experience? How does today’s higher-proof American Honey stand up?

We’re diving deep into the history behind the legendary Jimmy Russell’s “honey bourbon” to discover the differences that 30 years can make.

In this video, we explore:

  • The Proof Test: Does the higher 71 proof of American Honey make it less sweet and more balanced than the vintage 60-proof version?
  • A Tale of Two Honeys: How do the honey notes themselves compare? Is one fresher or more complex than the other?
  • The Bourbon Factor: Can we taste more of the classic Wild Turkey bourbon base in one over the other?
  • The Legacy: A look at how a beloved product can evolve while staying true to its roots.

Whether you’re a bourbon aficionado, a Wild Turkey fan, or just curious about how spirits change over time, this is a tasting you won’t want to miss.
