Wild Turkey

The Wild Turkey Distillery is home of the Wild Turkey 101, one of America’s bestselling Kentucky straight bourbons. With its high alcohol content of 101 proof (50.5% ABV) it is the strong flagship of the distillery. About 7, 5 years old is this straight bourbon, full of vanilla and caramel aromas with a little hint of smoke and nice sweetness. 

Blended from barrels that are 6 to 12 years old and bottled in barrel proof is the Wild Turkey Rare Breed. So no additional water dilutes this premium straight bourbon and the full-bodied and smooth aroma can show up at its best. Creamy vanilla, honey, nice spices and light oak notes characterize the rich flavor of the Rare Breed. 

But Wild Turkey also works with a second mash whose main ingredient (65%) is rye. Wild Turkey Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is spicy, delivers notes of citrus, orchard fruits and grain aromas. You also can’t miss a typical hint of black pepper. The Wild Turkey Rye is very popular in cocktails, especially traditional ones as an Old Fashioned, a Manhattan or a Whiskey Sour.
