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.

Note: A very small quantity of whiskies came from this single barrel, so taste variability is higher than with larger production whiskies. Many times this is not a big deal (i.e. Blanton's), but sometimes it matters (i.e. Larceny Barrel Proof versions). If the specific barrel is not listed, ask your server or a store employee for more info.

Nose: Rich vanilla and caramel are balanced by toasted oak and baking spices, with subtle hints of fruity notes like cherry or orange peel.
Palate: A full-bodied and smooth mouthfeel delivers flavors of sweet butterscotch and dark fruit, with a robust backbone of charred oak, cinnamon, and rye spice.
Finish: Long, warming, and pleasantly oily, the finish lingers with notes of caramel, lingering spice, dry oak, and a touch of roasted nuts.
