Wild Turkey 101 Bourbon 750ml
Wild Turkey 101 delivers a consistently robust 101-proof spirit that maintains its structural integrity whether poured neat over ice or built into demanding cocktails. Crafted as a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, this expression combines a base of corn, rye, and malted barley before aging in newly charred oak casks. The result is a spirit showing distinct notes of vanilla extract, caramelized sugar, and toasted oak, rounding out with subtle dried fruit undertones and a mild peppery warmth on the finish.
At 50.5% ABV, the higher alcohol content actively resists rapid dilution when served on ice, preserving the intended flavor balance for every sip. This proof level also prevents muted sweetness profiles when mixing, making it a reliable foundation for classic recipes like Old Fashioneds and Manhattans. The standard 750ml container fits neatly into home bar cabinets and retail shelf displays, offering practical portion management for regular consumption or extended batching sessions.
