Wild Turkey 101 Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Wild Turkey 101 Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a legendary, high-proof American masterpiece that has stood as the flagship expression of the distillery for over 60 years. Crafted by the iconic father-and-son Master Distiller team, Jimmy and Eddie Russell, it utilizes Wild Turkey’s signature high-rye mashbill and is distilled at a lower proof to retain maximum flavor. Aged in the deepest No. 4 "alligator" char American white oak barrels, it is bottled at an explicit 101 proof, delivering an uncompromisingly bold, rich, and spicy character that remains a benchmark for real Kentucky bourbon.

Food Pairing: Rich barbecue burnt ends, smoked venison or beef jerky, mature extra-sharp cheddar, or dark chocolate pecan pie.

TASTING NOTES Deep, rich copper-amber in color with a full-bodied, oily, and intensely warming mouthfeel.

NOSE Powerfully aromatic and complex, exploding with bold notes of dark caramel, rich vanilla, and honey, seamlessly balanced by heavy oak char, old leather, orange peel, and sharp rye spice.

PALATE Intense, deep, and exploding with flavor; dominant notes of sweet vanilla fudge, maple syrup, and brown sugar are quickly met by a massive wave of baking spices, including cinnamon, cloves, white pepper, and toasted oak.

FINISH Long, powerful, and delightfully warm, leaving lingering trails of deep wood spice, dark chocolate, tobacco leaf, and sweet caramel.

SERVE Exceptional when enjoyed neat or with a splash of limestone water to unpack the complex layers, and universally regarded as one of the finest bourbons for a classic Old Fashioned or Boulevardier.
