Wild Turkey 101 8 yr Kentucky Bourbon 750ml

Wild Turkey 101 delivers a robust, eight-year-aged Kentucky bourbon bottled at 101 proof (50.5% ABV) to highlight the full intensity of the distillate. Crafted by the Wild Turkey Distilling Company in Lawrenceburg, this straight bourbon uses careful barrel selection to release immediate aromas of golden caramel, roasted nuts, warm red oak, and distinct citrus peel segments.

The initial sip reveals dense toffee and unrefined vanilla beans anchored by pronounced char tones from seasoned American white oak casks. As the temperature rises during a pour, secondary flavors emerge, including deep brown sugar crystallization, subtle dried fruit accents, cracked cinnamon, and a lingering hint of light tobacco that coats the throat smoothly.

This proof level serves double duty: it works equally well poured neat or over large ice cubes, and functions as a reliable backbone for spirits-forward mixed drinks. The higher alcohol concentration ensures the whiskey maintains structural integrity when stirred or shaken with bitters and vermouths.

Each 750ml bottle arrives factory sealed under an induction-capped crown to maintain long-term alcohol stability. Keep the bottle upright in a pantry or cabinet away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity shifts to preserve the original aromatic profile.
