🍂 What Makes “Dream’s Lean Turkey” Special

Single Barrel & Cask Strength

Every bottle of “Lean Turkey” comes from the same barrel, giving it a distinct flavor profile that can’t be replicated. At 101.6 proof, this cask-strength bourbon delivers full warmth, richness, and depth straight from the barrel to your glass.

Wild Turkey Heritage

This 9-year, 10-month-old bourbon combines the bold character of Wild Turkey with Dream Spirits’ expert barrel selection, resulting in a rich, oak-forward bourbon with caramel, vanilla, and baking spice notes — perfect for sipping or sharing with friends this holiday season.

🥃 Early Tasting Notes — From @because_bourbon

“Lean Turkey ain’t just a clever name — it’s exactly how this one shows up.

Nose: Caramel, warm oak, baking spice, subtle cherry sweetness

Palate: Rich caramel → vanilla → toasted oak → hint of peanut shell sneaking in

Finish: Long, warm, sweet-oak swag with that classic Wild Turkey DNA showing up confidently.”
