Notes | |||
"Introduced in 2011, Wild Turkey 81 Proof was created by Associate Master Distiller Eddie Russell. For a spicy kick, Eddie uses the Wild Turkey famous high-rye mash bill. He then ages the whiskey for 6-8 years, longer than any other whiskey in this 'weight class', in hand-selected American oak barrels with the famous #4 'alligator char' to get the most flavor from each barrel." —producer |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"This Kentucky Bourbon is aged up to six to eight years in “alligator charred” barrels, yielding honey-vanilla aromatics and mouthwatering, rounded maple and vanilla notes that close out with clove and cinnamon spark. Best Buy." —Kara Newman, Wine Enthusiast Magazine |
