| This cost is what I found the likely shelf price for a 750ml bottle to be, based on an average of costs throughout the USA. Your price may differ significantly. This is not an advertisement of sale, this bottle is likely empty by now anyway Cost | $2000 |  | |||||||||||||||||||

| Notes | Before there was  American Honey there was Wild Turkey Liqueur with Honey. A bit unwieldy in the naming department, this is clearly built from the same stuff and has sired well. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 1st Impression | A week after I bought this I spotted one on eBay for $75! Someone has had a few too many sips of something. This is out of print, but not off the shelves quite yet. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Smell | The lineage to American Honey is clear right from the get-go. Big citrus over honey smells, somewhat floral. There's not much bite and a real steady sugar kick. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Taste | Just a touch weaker in the honey department than it's follow-on. The bourbon flavors are a touch weaker, I think, and the whole thing is slightly watery. It plays well at the end, lots of honey and sweet oranges, plus the 30% alcohol is darn unnoticeable. I can't quite top 70 with this, somewhere in the mid 60s. A good glass, though. | ||||||||||||||||||||
