Wild Turkey Kentucky Straight BOURBON Whisky 40.5% vol. 0.7l

The history of Wild Turkey began in 1869 with the founding of the Ripy Distillery on a hill now known as Wild Turkey Hill, overlooking a gorge on the Kentucky River. In 1919, the distillery was closed due to Prohibition, but reopened in 1933. Since 1941, Wild Turkey whiskies have been produced in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, by Austin Nichols.

The Wild Turkey brand name became established in 1940 when Thomas McCarthy, a manager at the Ripy Distillery, regularly took the whisky with him on turkey hunts, thereby raising its profile.

Wild Turkey Kentucky Straight Bourbon, created by Master Distiller Eddie Russell, was launched in 2011. This bourbon is aged for six to eight years in carefully selected oak casks, significantly longer than many other whiskies in its category. Eighty-one American oak casks with a ‘No. 4 char’ – also known as ‘Alligator Char’ – were used for ageing.

This Wild Turkey is not a lighter version of the 101, as the 80 Proof once was, but a completely new whisky from Austin Nichols. With its unique ageing process and careful selection of casks, it clearly stands out from other bourbons and offers an unrivalled tasting experience.
