Description
Wild Turkey 101 Bourbon Whiskey
Wild Turkey 101 Bourbon is crafted using a high-rye mashbill, which gives the bourbon a unique and spicy flavor profile. Once the bourbon has been distilled, it is aged in American oak casks that have been charred with a #4 char. Typically, the degree of charring within a cask is measured on a scale of one to four, with a #1 char referring to casks that have been lightly toasted, and a #4 char referring to casks that have been charred so heavily that the interior resembles an alligator hide.
After maturing for six to eight years, Wild Turkey 101 is bottled at 101 proof. The bourbon has an aroma of citrus, orange zest and caramel apples that gives way to bold notes of caramel, vanilla, apricots and honey on the palate. The finish is intense and warming, with a touch of chili peppers.
Wild Turkey 101 earned a score of 92 points from the Ultimate Spirits Challenge and the Gold Medal at the International Wine & Spirits Competition. Pick up a bottle today!
