Process & Profile

Wild Turkey 101 Bourbon is a classic Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey known for its bold proof, rich flavor, and long-standing connection to Master Distiller Jimmy Russell. Bottled at 101 proof, this bourbon delivers more structure and character than many standard 80 proof bourbons while still remaining smooth enough for everyday sipping and cocktails.

Made with a high-rye bourbon recipe, Wild Turkey 101 brings together sweetness, spice, oak, and citrus in a balanced, full-flavored profile. It is aged in American white oak barrels with a deep alligator char, helping develop strong notes of vanilla, caramel, toasted oak, orange peel, baking spice, and warm rye spice.

Wild Turkey 101 is one of the most versatile bourbons on the shelf. It has enough proof and spice to stand out in cocktails, but enough depth and balance to enjoy neat or over ice. For customers looking for a reliable Kentucky bourbon, a higher-proof cocktail bourbon, or a classic bottle with true everyday value, Wild Turkey 101 remains a staple.
