Made from a marriage of Wild Turkey whiskies aged 6, 8 and 12 years, it doesn't carry a formal age statement, but is generally understood to draw from the same stock underpinning the brand's famous 101. One respected reviewer called it \"a fantastic example of a barrel proof bourbon that is rich and flavorful without being unbearably hot,\" and it's widely regarded as one of the best-value entry points into barrel-proof bourbon — genuinely competitive with pricier barrel-proof releases from other distilleries at a fraction of the cost. Best enjoyed neat in a Glencairn glass, or with a few drops of water to open up its caramel, molasses and baking spice character further. A must-stock for any serious bourbon range, and an easy recommendation for customers wanting to step up from standard-proof bourbon into genuine barrel-strength territory.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWild Turkey\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eWild Turkey is a historic Kentucky bourbon distillery based in Lawrenceburg, owned by the Campari Group, with a legacy of craftsmanship guided for decades by the Russell family of Master Distillers — Jimmy Russell, the world's longest-tenured master distiller, his son Eddie, and grandson Bruce. Built on traditional methods, quality ingredients and patience, Wild Turkey's philosophy is captured in its \"Trust Your Spirit\" ethos, reflected across a range spanning the flagship 101 and 81 proof bourbons through to premium expressions like Kentucky Spirit, Russell's Reserve, Master's Keep, and the newer Austin Nichols Archives Collection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wild Turkey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52352044237088,"sku":null,"price":109.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/0232\/3232\/files\/WildTurkeyRareBreedKentuckyStraightBourbonWhiskey700mL.webp?v=1789386063","url":"https:\/\/whisky.estate\/products\/wild-turkey-rare-breed-kentucky-straight-bourbon-whiskey-700ml","provider":"Whisky Estate","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
