Wild Turkey Honey Liquer

[iWander]

My wife and I are cleaning out my mom's house where she and my Uncle lived until recently. My uncle died early this year, and mom has finally accepted that she needs to go to assisted living. While cleaning out one of my uncle's closets, I found a bunch of 80's vintage clothing, records and this bottle.

Has anyone ever seen this label or this vintage? Does it have any value due to the age and that it's unopened?

That's still being bottled although the bottle is a little fancier. It's good but very sweet, kind of an after dinner dessert drink. People collect just about anything so maybe some collectors value. Or you could just open it up and drink a toast to your uncle!

There should be a bottling date on the tax seal.

I wonder if it would work as good as Rock and Rye for a cough? Larry

The bottle label reads 60 Proof. It is not worth drinking. If you have a garden, do not waste it. Pour it on the plants.

60 proof with honey...sounds like cough syrup.

It's not bad stuff I think (could be wrong) today it is marketed as 'American Honey'.
Sit down and enjoy it in memory of your relative.

A friend has Jim Bean Honey and it is good over cracked ice on a cold day outside.

It should make a great cough medicine, just watered down Wild Turkey with a splash of honey. I would not believe it has any collector value. Keep it around for the cough, should work great. It might be considered whiskey for those who do not drink.

I’m a wild Turkey guy through and through. But that stuff is not great. I got a bottle once as a gift. My wife uses it for cooking occasionally. Carrots , ham etc….. it’s not even a good after dinner cordial

I bought some honey bourbon once. One sip and the rest of the bottle was delegated to making barbeque sauce.

Can’t drink that syrup straight! Make a cup of strong black tea, add a shot (or two) of the honey bourbon. Garnish with a slice of lemon, lime and orange. Outstanding winter hot cocktail.
