Wild Turkey Bourbon Whiskey is an iconic Kentucky Straight Bourbon crafted with conviction by Master Distiller Eddie Russell, a Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Famer. This 81-proof expression is a testament to the distillery's unwavering commitment to tradition and an uncompromising production philosophy, resulting in a spirit that is exceptionally smooth, full, and rich in character.
Wild Turkey's signature profile is born from several key principles that have been honored for generations. It is crafted from non-GMO grains and pure, limestone-filtered water sourced from the Kentucky River. The true depth and boldness are developed during maturation; the bourbon is aged for a minimum of five years—longer than legally required for a straight bourbon—in new American White Oak barrels that receive the deepest possible No. 4 "alligator" char. This intense char is crucial for developing the bourbon's signature deep amber color and complex flavor.
The result is a bourbon that presents an inviting bouquet of deep vanilla, rich caramel, and toasted oak. The palate follows with a delightful explosion of sweet vanilla and caramel notes, which are elegantly balanced by hints of pear, honey, and subtle spice. It culminates in a long and satisfying finish with notes of soft oak and pleasant dried fruit. Wild Turkey Bourbon is perfect for sipping straight to appreciate its full character, yet versatile enough to elevate any classic bourbon cocktail.
