Wild Turkey 8 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 101 Proof is a classic and mature expression, masterfully crafted for those who appreciate a rich, complex sip with the brand's signature bold character. This bourbon is a testament to the time-honored traditions and uncompromising standards of the Wild Turkey Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, rooted in a recipe perfected by the legendary Master Distiller Jimmy Russell.
Crafted from a blend of hand-selected, small-batch barrels, this bourbon is patiently aged for a minimum of eight full years, well beyond the legal requirement for a straight bourbon. Its journey to excellence begins with non-GMO grains, limestone-filtered water from the Kentucky River, and Wild Turkey's proprietary 60-year-old yeast strain. A crucial element to its distinctive, deep flavor is the use of American White Oak barrels prepared with a No. 4 "alligator" char—the deepest level available—which imparts a signature amber color and bold profile.
This 101-proof bourbon offers an inviting and complex aroma of caramel, roasted nuts, citrus peel, and sweet oak. The palate unfolds with a beautiful symphony of vanilla, clove, rich toffee, charred oak, bright lemon zest, and black cherry. It culminates in an exceptionally long and lingering finish, leaving satisfying notes of brown sugar, dried fruit, and allspice. This is a remarkably balanced and flavorful bourbon, perfect for enjoying neat or on the rocks.
