Product Details
About This Bottle
Wild Turkey 81 Proof is crafted by Master Distiller and Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Famer Eddie Russell, offering a lower proof, more approachable counterpart to the brand's flagship 101. Aged a minimum of five years (typically 6-8) in American white oak barrels charred to the deepest No. 4 "alligator char," this bourbon shares the same barrel treatment as its higher proof siblings, just brought down to a gentler, easier sipping strength.

Essentially a turned-down version of Wild Turkey 101, this 81 proof release offers the same core caramel and vanilla character at a gentler strength, well suited for mixed drinks, a boilermaker, or as an easy-drinking introduction to the Wild Turkey lineup at a lower price point than the 101.
