Wild Turkey - 81 Pr Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 1L

Wild Turkey Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey stands as a testament to doing things the right way, without compromise. For decades, this iconic distillery has adhered to traditions that others have abandoned, resulting in a bourbon with a famously bold and authentic character. This unwavering commitment begins with the ingredients: limestone-filtered water from the Kentucky River, a proprietary yeast strain that has defined the bourbon's flavor for over 60 years, and a mash bill of strictly non-GMO grains.

The magic of Wild Turkey truly comes to life in the barrel. While others might settle for a lighter char, Wild Turkey insists on using a deep No. 4 "alligator" char on their new American oak barrels. This intense char is crucial for developing the bourbon's signature deep amber color and its explosive flavors. Furthermore, every drop is aged well beyond the legal minimum, resting for at least five years in their storied rickhouses. The result is an exceptionally smooth yet bold bourbon, opening with deep aromas of vanilla and caramel oak. The palate is a rich expression of vanilla, honey, and orange, leading to a lingering finish of soft oak and dried fruit.
