What do you think is the biggest contributing factor to the difference in taste of old Wild Turkey vs current Wild Turkey? Aging, cypress vs stainless fermentation tanks, taller still, barrel entry proof, etc.? Not getting into which is better, but there's a clear profile difference between an '80s bottle of 8 year 101 compared to today's 101.

So, regardless of the wording, all of your products are both 100% distilled and bottled by Wild Turkey? Can we put the rumor to rest that there may be another distillery's juice blended in?

Come on, /u/BruceRussell101, give us that real dirt! If it was just older juice, wouldn't a ~10yr RR or even some of the age stated export bottles be closer in profile to old Turkey?

Agreed. I've heard dozens of different particular reasons as to why the profile changed, I was just curious what Eddie and Jimmy would attribute it to, having been able to taste through more than any of us could ever dream of, and having been part of these changes.
