Wild Turkey 101 8 Year is a return to tradition — a bold, full-bodied bourbon that honors the rich heritage of Kentucky whiskey-making. Aged for a full 8 years (longer than most bourbons in its class), this expression of Wild Turkey 101 delivers deeper complexity and a smoother finish without sacrificing the brand’s signature intensity.
Bottled at 101 proof (50.5% ABV), this bourbon is made from a high-rye mash bill and aged in #4 “alligator char” American oak barrels, which imparts a deep amber color and bold flavor. The result is a whiskey that’s as rugged and uncompromising as the master distillers behind it — Jimmy and Eddie Russell, legends in the bourbon world.
Perfect for sipping neat, over ice, or in classic cocktails, this 8-year expression offers the richness and depth of a much higher-priced bourbon at exceptional value.

Taste Notes & Food Pairings
Tasting Notes
Wild Turkey 101 8 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a bolder-aged version of the iconic 101, offering extra depth from extended maturation. The nose opens with rich aromas of caramel, vanilla, and honey layered over toasted oak and spice. On the palate, it is robust and full-bodied, delivering flavors of toffee, cinnamon, and nutmeg, balanced by dark fruit, tobacco, and leather. The higher proof provides intensity and warmth while keeping the texture velvety and rounded. The finish is long and powerful, with lingering notes of sweet oak, caramel, and baking spice.
Food Pairings
Starter Spiced charcuterie or smoked sausage, enhancing the bourbon’s spice and oak.
Main Course Grilled ribeye or barbecued brisket, where the bourbon’s caramel and bold spice elevate smoky, savory flavors.
Cheese Aged Gouda or sharp cheddar, offering nutty sharpness to balance the whiskey’s richness.
Dessert Dark chocolate brownies or pecan pie, echoing the bourbon’s caramel, cocoa, and nutty depth.
Wild Turkey
Wild Turkey is a legendary name in American bourbon, known for its unapologetically bold character and uncompromising production methods. Distilled in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, Wild Turkey is crafted using a high-rye mash bill, natural limestone-rich water, and the heaviest char barrels in the industry (#4 alligator char).
The brand’s integrity is overseen by the iconic father-son duo, Jimmy and Eddie Russell, who together represent over 100 years of combined whiskey-making experience. Wild Turkey refuses to cut corners — no chill filtration, no added flavors, no shortcuts — just honest, traditional bourbon aged to perfection.
Whether in the classic 101 or limited editions like Master’s Keep, Wild Turkey continues to set the standard for bold, authentic American whiskey.
