Our take on the Wild Turkey 101 8 Year Bourbon 750ml

Wild Turkey 101 8 Year is a Kentucky straight bourbon bottled at 101 proof (50.5% ABV) and aged a full eight years, longer than the standard 101. The extra age smooths the high-rye spice and adds oak and caramel depth while keeping the bold, punchy 101 character. It is a limited, age-stated release that sits above the everyday 101 in price and refinement.
