Wild Turkey 101 8 Year Old Bourbon Joins the Distillery’s Core Range in the U.S.
Wild Turkey Distilling Company has announced that it’s bringing Wild Turkey 101 8 Year Old Bourbon to the United States as a permanent expression. This age-stated bourbon pays homage to the original Wild Turkey 101, which was bottled after eight years of aging.
In recent years, Wild Turkey 101 8 Year Old Bourbon has exclusively been available in select export markets. Compared to the standard Wild Turkey 101 offering that is made using a blend of 6-8 year old bourbons, Wild Turkey 101 8 Year Old is blended from a smaller batch of barrels that are hand-selected for the characteristics and complexity they’ll bring to a neat pour.
Wild Turkey 101 8 Year Old Bourbon is described as having notes of “vanilla, clove, toffee, charred oak, lemon zest and black cherry complemented by a long, lingering finish of brown sugar, dried fruit, vanilla, and allspice.”
Wild Turkey 101 8 Year Old Bourbon will be available in the U.S. beginning this month for a suggested retail price of $45 for a 750 mL bottle.
