Our Notes
A spicy, high-rye bourbon with vanilla, caramel and toasted oak. Great neat or in an Old Fashioned.
From the Distillery
In 1940 a special bottle of barrel-aged bourbon was taken along on a wild turkey hunt. The name stuck and still stands for exceptional aged bourbon.
The distillery honours that tradition by ageing its bourbon longer, from five up to eight years, in number four 'alligator char' American oak barrels.
About the Distillery
Wild Turkey 81 Proof uses the distillery's famous high-rye mash for a spicy kick that lasts. Hand-selected American oak barrels from the Ozark Mountains get an "alligator char" before they are filled at the distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky.
Wild Turkey 81 is the only bourbon in its category to use this costly deep char (known as a "#4 char"), which brings the intense vanilla and caramel that mark a Wild Turkey bourbon.
The filled barrels rest in wood-rack warehouses with no heating or air conditioning, unlike others in the category. Wild Turkey 81 is mainly a blend of five to eight year old whiskies, making it the longest-aged bourbon or Tennessee whiskey in its class.
The result is a deep, rich amber whiskey with fruit, butterscotch, toffee and toasted oak on the nose. On the palate come cigar-box sweetness, caramel, vanilla and pear, with a long finish of rich spice and toast.
