This cult Kentucky bourbon, previously available only in Japan, makes its triumphant return to American shelves as a refined take on the iconic Wild Turkey profile.

Perfectly Aged Kentucky Classic

A distinguished 101 proof (50.5% ABV) expression carrying a full 8-year age statement—placing it at the upper end of the 6-8 year range typically found in standard Wild Turkey 101. The additional time in barrel creates noticeable refinement while preserving the frontier-style character that makes Wild Turkey so beloved among bourbon enthusiasts.

A More Sophisticated Turkey

The bold nose delivers the distillery's signature well-roasted peanuts, complemented by red pepper, cinnamon, and brown butter notes. On the palate, this expression surpasses standard 101 with added nuance, offering layers of vanilla, marzipan, and cherry cream alongside traditional Wild Turkey butterscotch and baked apple characteristics.

There’s no denying however that the 8 year old has more refinement to it — it’s increasingly divergent in the end — though it definitely has the classic rustic charm that make Wild Turkey so iconic.
