Wild Turkey 101 (1lt)

Kentucky bourbon bottled at a full 101 proof, this Wild Turkey expression comes from the distillery's mash bill that emphasizes rye in the grain mix, setting it apart from the sweeter corn-heavy bourbons. The higher rye content pushes the spirit toward spice and dryness, while the proof gives it backbone and presence on the palate without requiring dilution or ice if you prefer it neat.

You'll find black pepper, oak char, and a touch of leather and tobacco leaf in the glass, with enough heat to keep things lively but not punishing. The rye-forward profile makes it equally at home in a classic cocktail (bourbon and soda, Old Fashioned, or Manhattan) or sipped on its own after dinner. It's a straightforward, no-nonsense bourbon that doesn't apologize for what it is.
