Wild Turkey 81
Wild Turkey 81 is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey introduced in 2011, designed as an approachable, mixable "entry-level" bourbon designed by Associate Master Distiller Eddie Russell. Bottled at 81 proof (40.5% ABV), it replaced the older Wild Turkey 80 proof expression, offering a more mature, higher-char flavor profile intended to stand up to mixology, particularly in cocktails like Old Fashioneds.

Nose: A delicate and approachable blend of caramel chews, vanilla, and soft oak, accented by hints of rye spice, citrus zest, and brown sugar
Palate: Creamy caramel and vanilla forward with a surprising, sharp rye spice kick that adds wood tannin, cinnamon, and a hint of charred oak
Finish: Medium-length, warming, and slightly drying with lingering rye spice, caramel coffee syrup, and a touch of tobacco.

Nose: A wave of cinnamon leads the charge, followed by sweet caramel, vanilla, and a hint of burnt oak. Cinnamon dominates overall, but the balance of sweeter scents along with the oak keeps it manageable.
Palate: Big cinnamon spice pops upfront with a flash of Fireball candy potency. Dark fruit and baking spices follow, along with a touch of rye spice. It has a nice intensity, and like the nose, the cinnamon dominates and is also quite pleasant.
Finish: Sweet flavors of caramel candy and raw sugar develop first, followed by baking spices and a very light display of seasoned oak. The finish is medium-length and has just the right amount of intensity.
