Wild Turkey 8 Year Old 101 Proof is the classic pre-modern era 8-year expression of Wild Turkey’s high-rye Kentucky Straight Bourbon — aged a minimum of eight years and bottled at the iconic 101 proof under Master Distiller Jimmy Russell.
This is the small-batch 8-year, 101-proof Wild Turkey that defined the brand’s classic house style — a robust yet balanced bourbon built on the distillery’s high-rye mashbill and deep-char maturation. Bold enough to sip neat, with the backbone to carry a splash of water or a cocktail.
