Wild Turkey 101 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a robust American classic, crafted in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. Established in the 1940s, Wild Turkey has maintained its commitment to traditional bourbon-making techniques, with Master Distiller Jimmy Russell, who began his tenure in 1954, playing a pivotal role in upholding the brand's legacy.Ā
Aged in American white oak barrels with the deepest alligator char, this bourbon boasts a high rye content and is bottled at 101 proof (50.5% ABV), resulting in a full-bodied flavor profile. On the nose, it presents vanilla with cinnamon and oak. The palate offers a hint of sweetness upfront with vanilla and caramel notes, followed by oak and baking spices, leading to a bold finish with signature Wild Turkey spice and orange peel.Ā
The 1-liter bottle reflects Wild Turkey's dedication to quality and tradition, making it a versatile choice for enjoying neat, on the rocks, or in classic cocktails like the Old Fashioned.Ā
