    Wild Turkey 81 Proof

    A lower strength bourbon from Wild Turkey, bottled at 81 proof (40.5% abv) and created by the associate distiller Eddie Russell, the son of master distiller Jimmy Russell. This has a high rye content in the mash bill and is aged in casks with a heavy char - the result of which is huge flavour and complexity without the same heat as the 101 proof.

    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    Nose

    A spiced, oaky nose with vanilla fudge, rye spices and coffee beans.

    Palate

    Rich and thick, notes of caramel, manuka honey and fudge, hints of rhubarb and custard sweets and oily espresso beans.

    Finish

    Caramel and coffee, hints of Black Forest honey and Hot Cross Buns. Charred and spicy.

    Overall

    A fabulous bourbon with oodles of complexity…

    Being re-labled

    This is a great value...I pick mine up at a military exchange for 15. the Distillery is actually phasing out the 81 label to replace it with just the plain W T label...for collector enthusiasts...this might be the time to pick up an extra bottle of 81.

    Wild Turkey 81

    It tastes so good that i would want to drink this for the rest of my life

    Master of Malt Customer Mar 20, 2016

    I got this for under $25, around $19.99, I consider this my go to for value whiskey.

    So I decided not to buy overly expensive and premium priced whiskey (and that means not just only bourbon,) which I would consider to be anything over $25 for my budget personally. Wild Turkey makes some damn good bourbon whiskey. The 81 proof has layers of flavors and is more complex then even cheaper whiskies of it's type. Evan Williams I would say is decent for a value priced bourbon whiskey, while having basic bourbon flavors, is more one dimensional. Wild Turkey 81 proof is way better and more flavorful with a slight .05% over the standard 40 proof making it 40.5% proof. This bourbon is a blend of 6-8 years old and possibly some younger bourbons in the mix, but it is surprisingly an easy drinking bourbon, still a bit rough around the edges, but that's to be expected. This gets a 4 and a half out of 5 for me personally and I'll definitely purchase this in the future if I need a good cheap whiskey to drink.

    81 vs 101

    Good on rocks 101 too much bite

    Master of Malt Customer Jan 23, 2016

    This stuff is great

    Easy to drink and complex at the same time. Spicy but not as much as the 101. Very good!
