For more than 60 years, legendary Master Distiller Jimmy Russell has been crafting Wild Turkey 101 the right way. With a high rye content, this iconic bourbon is perfectly aged for up to six to eight years in American oak barrels with the deepest char for more character. We bottle 101 at a higher proof and only when it reaches its full comples flavor of caramel, vanilla, toffee, and spice. As Jimmy says, "Like the Kentucky River, Wild Turkey 101 is mighty, bold, and it takes its own sweet time.
