Personally, i've only had a small taste of scotch, and some Jim Beam. I'm not coming from much experience. What I do know, however, is that Wild Turkey 101 is good stuff!
Even with the 101 proof, It still tasted less harsh than Jim. Don't get me wrong, I still liked the JB, but this stuff is in an entirely different category.
As previous raters have mentioned... a classic bourbon!
