Wild Turkey 81

Country: USA

Region: Kentucky

Type: Bourbon

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 40.5%

Score: 89 Points

Wild Turkey 81This has all of the flavor of Wild Turkey 101 at a lower strength for mixing in cocktails, and it’s also a good bourbon for newcomers to whiskey. The nose has a good balance of oak, vanilla, and caramel notes. The taste is clean, smooth and spicy with cinnamon on top and notes of honey and vanilla underneath. The finish lingers well with oak, caramel, and a hint of molasses.
