Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 101 Proof Wild Turkey

Wild Turkey 101 is the first Wild Turkey bourbon and the inspiration for those to come, a whiskey produced by the famous American distillery based in Lawrenceburg in the state of Kentucky. This bourbon comes from a careful selection of corn, rye, barley malt, selected yeasts and filtered water from the Kentucky River. For 101, legendary house distiller Jimmy Russell predicted a high rye content compared to other bourbons. Once the cereals are cooked in the water, the yeast is added creating the yeast must. Then we move on to distillation in a discontinuous distiller which takes place twice and at the end of this process the bourbon is poured into American white oak barrels where it rests according to the needs of the master distiller.

With its characteristic amber color, this bourbon opens on the nose with aromas of wood, followed by spicy notes of vanilla. In the mouth the taste is rich and long with spicy hints of pepper and caramel sweets.

Wild Turkey 101 is perfect to be enjoyed straight or with ice at the end of a meal, or as a base for cocktails with a strong character.
