It’s the foundation that the Russell’s laid and continue to honor year after year that allows the brand to maintain its relevance today. Instead, the brand has stuck to tried and true methods that don’t deviate over time. It doesn’t do it through barrel finishing or exotic grains in its mashbill. Īesthetics aside, what has allowed Wild Turkey to stay relevant over all of these decades is its ability to deliver a consistently good pour year over year. Wild Turkey 8 Years 101 Back in the day Wild Turkey 101 carried an 8 years age statement. Wild Turkey Liqueur The original creation that helped jump-start the whiskey liqueur category. It offers tours and is part of the American Whiskey Trail and the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. Wild Turkey Diamond Anniversary Created to celebrate Jimmy’s 60th anniversary at Wild Turkey. The distillery is located near Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. Wild Turkey Bourbon Whiskey is created using as little distilled water as possible to produce a full flavored bourbon whiskey similar to the authentic. There was just one problem, the US market was not getting it. With only 2,070 bottles released and retailing at 250 each, this is Wild Turkey’s rarest and most expensive product to date. This was the secret ingredient to getting the enthusiast community to sit up and take notice of this release. To this point, Wild Turkey has just released Russell’s Reserve 1998, a phenomenal whiskey aged for more than 15 years. Thankfully, that last point was addressed with a refresh of the brand's label in 2021, which gives the bottle a more modern and upscale feel compared to the last time we reviewed Wild Turkey 101 in 2015. Wild Turkey is a brand of Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey distilled and bottled by the Wild Turkey Distilling Co, a division of Campari Group. Wild Turkey once again rolled out an impressive age statement on a bottle of bourbon (12 years old) but this time they decided to bottle it at 101 proof. However, the brand can hold negative connotations for many, whether it was due to a bad experience when they started drinking whiskey, the lower price point, or even the label design used. The Wild Turkey 101 Bourbon expression is by far the most recognizable of the brands the company produces. Description Name: Wild Turkey 101 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiske圜ountry: United StatesRegion: KentuckyProducer: Wild Turkey BourbonSize: 750ml. This allows fans of the brands to find the expression that best works for their personal preference (and one that also works for their wallet). From there, the Russell’s individually hone the flavor profile of their other brands including Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit, Wild Turkey Rare Breed, and their Russell’s Reserve line. Wild Turkey is unique in the sense that they only have one bourbon mashbill.
