Wild Turkey 101 8 Year Bourbon

Bourbon — Kentucky, USA

Reviewed June 27, 2025 (edited July 29, 2025)
3.75
3.75 out of 5 stars
Wild Turkey only has one bourbon mash bill - 75% corn, 13% rye, and 12% barley. This bottle is eight years old, and cost $44.99 at Total Wine. In the glass the color is dark copper. ๐—ก๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ฒ: On the nose I got honey and apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, a little caramel, and a little vanilla. ๐— ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ต๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—น: Smooth. ๐—ง๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฒ: On the palate there were cinnamon, brown sugar, a little oak, and butter. ๐—™๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ต: The finish gave me a general spice, leading into honey and a hint of oak. The length is medium. ๐—ฆ๐˜‚๐—บ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜†: This is good bourbon. It seems to have a darker profile than my current bottle of regular 101 - more like the 101 used to be, before the quality bobbled in late 2024. This 8 year bourbon isn't dramatically better than the regular, but I think the price is fair for the quality. ๐—ฅ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด: My hick scale has eight levels with 1 at the bottom. This whisky gets a 6, Fine. That's equivalent to 3.75 stars, 75/100, or 7.5/10.
