Being as I wasn't of sufficient age to enjoy Bourbon in the 50's and 6o's, I couldn't comment on that. I don't know as well about Wild Turkey in that era, but Wild Turkey rare breed barrel proof is some mighty tasty whiskey. Even the bargain-priced 101 gets plenty of respect. rare breed is ~$52, 101 is ~$27

Discounting the just OK 4 roses plane jane, the small batch at ~$30 is pretty good, and the single barrel at around $54 is even better. It starts there, and goes up to the stratosphere, like $800 for super select bottles. Yeah, I'd say it's a premium bourbon.
