Wild Turkey 101 Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey 70cl

Bottling at 101 proof rather than the more typical 80 is a deliberate choice, and Wild Turkey uses that extra strength to carry a genuinely punchy rye spice through the whole tasting experience without tipping into harshness. Peppery rye and toffee sweetness lead the nose, developing into layers of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and toasted hazelnut on the palate, closing with a long, spicy finish that has made this bottle a favourite among bourbon drinkers who want real intensity without paying premium prices.
