Wild Turkey 81 Whiskey 375ml
This 375 ml half-bottle of Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey ships bottled at 81 proof (40.5% ABV) and matured in new charred American oak.
Wild Turkey sources this expression from its traditional corn, rye, and malted barley mash bill, deliberately lowering the proof to highlight the underlying grain and barrel characteristics. New oak aging drives clean foundational flavors of vanilla, light caramel, and toasted wood, while the reduced alcohol content ensures a smooth, low-burn finish that registers distinctly in each pour.
The compact volume addresses three specific consumer needs. It fits into carry-on luggage for weekend trips, limits oxidation exposure after opening to preserve fresh aromatics, and enables precise portion measurement for cocktail programming. At 81 proof, the bourbon blends evenly with club soda, ginger ale, aromatic bitters, or cola paired with an orange peel. Set over a single large ice cube or build a classic Old Fashioned to experience controlled drinkability without heavy ethanol interference.
Packed in an original factory-sealed dark glass container, this half-size release differs from standard 750 ml bottlings and higher-proof variants by prioritizing consistent texture and mixability. It remains a practical choice for travelers, portion-conscious enthusiasts, and everyday bartenders seeking reliable Kentucky bourbon performance in a contained format.
