Wild Turkey 101 (2018 release)
101 proof 6 to 8 years Bourbon Wild Turkey Lawrenceburg, KY High rye (13% rye)

Signature Wild Turkey funk with old rickhouse character, vanilla, oak, toffee, sweetness with rye spice, butterscotch (hard candy from grandparents' table), layered with multiple notes revealing themselves

Hot with sweetness on the front and spice on the back, vanilla, caramel, butterscotch, toasted oak, leather, hints of older oak, chocolate notes like Tootsie Roll, balanced between sweet and spicy

Medium to long finish with Kentucky warmth building

Above average
A solid, well-balanced mid-shelf bourbon with layered complexity, spice-forward character, and the distinctive Wild Turkey profile that rewards sipping neat.
