Wild Turkey Bourbon
Wild Turkey Bourbon (formerly Wild Turkey 81) is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon aged in American white oak barrels with the deepest No. 4 alligator char, under Master Distiller Eddie Russell.
The entry point to the Wild Turkey range, this is the distillery's high-rye mashbill at an approachable, mixable strength. The deep No. 4 char gives it Wild Turkey's signature vanilla, caramel, and oak character in a smoother, more versatile format than the higher-proof 101.
