Wild Turkey American Honey is an exceptionally smooth bourbon liqueur, blending real Wild Turkey Bourbon Whiskey with pure honey, bottled at 35.5% ABV (71 proof) in a 700ml bottle. First created in the 1970s by Master Distiller Jimmy Russell, who believed straight bourbon could pair beautifully with deep, sweet, bold flavours that mirrored its own character, it's the sweeter, smoother side of Wild Turkey. Named World's Best Whisky Liqueur three years running, it delivers rich honey, caramel and orange character, best enjoyed straight from the bottle, chilled in the freezer, or over ice.

Why choose Wild Turkey American Honey Whiskey?

American Honey has a genuinely long history within the Wild Turkey range — the first recipe dates back to the 1970s, crafted by legendary Master Distiller Jimmy Russell, who always believed in American straight whiskey's ability to pair well with deep, sweet, bold flavours that mirrored the spirit's own character. Rather than a modern marketing add-on, it's a deliberate, decades-old expression of that philosophy, blending real Wild Turkey Bourbon with pure honey rather than artificial honey flavouring. That quality has been genuinely recognised at the highest level — American Honey was named World's Best Whisky Liqueur three years in a row, a serious accolade in a crowded category. Its lower proof and natural sweetness make it exceptionally versatile: straight from the bottle at room temperature, chilled hard in the freezer for a smoother, syrupy sip, over ice as a simple nightcap, or as a distinctive base for cocktails wanting real honey-bourbon depth. A reliable, well-loved crossover product for customers who enjoy Wild Turkey's bourbon range but want something sweeter and more approachable, and a strong gifting option in its own right.
