Final Thoughts
Wild Turkey 101 is the brand’s flagship, offering power and balance at 101 proof. The nose bursts with caramel, vanilla, and cinnamon spice, underpinned by oak and citrus. On the palate, rich toffee, pepper, honey, and nutmeg dominate, with the rye content giving structure and vibrancy. The finish is long and warming with dark chocolate, oak, and lingering spice. Best enjoyed neat or in cocktails like the Old Fashioned, it delivers bold flavor at an unbeatable value and remains a classic American bourbon.
