Wild Turkey 8-Year 101 — 70th Anniversary (2024)
101 proof 8 years Bourbon Wild Turkey Lawrenceburg, KY $70 75% corn, 13% rye, 12% malted barley

Fresh citrus and honey with green peanut and dark cherry notes. Aromatic quality reminiscent of cologne with subtle layering that requires patient nosing to fully appreciate.

Soft, buttery, and viscous mouthfeel with overripe cherry and caramel sweetness. Savory mid-palate with a smooth, integrated finish that dissipates in waves of flavor.

Clean and fading with cherry cola notes emerging on revisit, subtle and refined rather than aggressive.

Very good
A refined, aromatic expression with exceptional softness and sophistication that likely reflects careful barrel selection and blending input from Jimmy Russell.
