4. Wild Turkey 101
Why I picked Wild Turkey 101 for our list of smoothest bourbons to drink straight for beginners you ask? Well, Wild Turkey 101 is WT’s flagship brand of bourbon whiskey. Also, you can find Wild Turkey 101 Bourbon anywhere in the U.S. Apart from these two reasons, Wild Turkey is not going to burn a hole in your pocket, as it is quite reasonably priced for what it is. There’s a bit of stigma against watering down scotch whiskey, but when it comes to bourbon, nobody would mind if you add a bit of soda or water in the mix. In fact, James Bond’s favorite drink was a double bourbon with soda. So, if you ask for a bourbon with soda, you will tone the taste down a little without being judged too much.
