Wild Turkey

Smooth and richly colored, Wild Turkey Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey is a genuine super-premium bourbon carefully crafted in the heart of Kentucky. Wild Turkey 8 Year-Old offers a lesson in traditional American values, most notably, the refusal to compromise on standards of excellence. Wild Turkey 8 Year-Old has an exceptionally soft, but rich aroma for a high proof bourbon, due to quality at all stages of making and aging for 8 years. Its taste is powerful and rich with caramel, vanilla and notes of honey and brown sugar. The finish is very long, rich and full-bodied, powerful, yet soothing. As many competitors distill at higher (and less expensive) proofs, they must add water to bring down the proof of their bourbons. Wild Turkey, on the other hand, comes out of the barrel at about 109 allowing the distiller to add little water and retain the true characteristics of the bourbon flavor. Wild Turkey is put it into the barrel at a lower (and more expensive) proof. Master Distiller Jimmy Russell likens it to making a great soup; if you cook it longer at a lower temperature, you retain the best flavors.

Bottled at cask strength Rare Breed is an uncompromised Kentucky bourbon with heavy notes of sweet tobacco and hints of orange and mint with a beautifully smooth finish.

Wild Turkey Straight Rye Whiskey is an 81 proof (40.5% alcohol) ode to Americas first distilled spirit: rye whiskey. When making Wild Turkey Rye, a deeper Alligator Char is used for extra flavor. Big, broad vanilla and spice notes burst through without changing the bold rye taste in this vatting of 4 and 5 year old whiskies.

Only a handful of barrels are selected in small batches from the middle section or center cut of the rick house by Master Distiller, Jimmy Russell and his son, Associate Master Distiller, Eddie Russell. The whiskey ages for a minimum of 10 years in the deepest no. 4 char, or alligator charred barrels for richer color and deeper flavour.

Made by one of the most famous names in American whiskey, the Long Branch comes from Wild Turkey, situated in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. Created by master distiller Eddie Russell, this whiskey is made with a refining process of filtration through oak and Texas Mesquite charcoals, which impart a smoky sweetness.

The 86.8 is a traditional bourbon, handcrafted with old-fashioned methods, using the finest natural ingredients, including at least 51% corn, along with barley and rye. Wild Turkey 86.8 has a deep, but soft aroma with classic bourbon characteristics of sweetness and corn. The excellent bourbon taste balances traditional caramel and vanilla flavours.

Created by Master Distiller Eddie Russell, this whiskey is created from some of Wild Turkey's oldest stocks, aged between 10-20 years in their rickhouses in Kentucky. This combination of old and younger whiskey produces a bourbon of both complexity and softness but while retaining the bolder and more intense character of younger barrels.
