Wild Turkey Rye Whiskey 81 Proof
Wild Turkey Rye Whiskey 81 Proof is the entry-level rye from Wild Turkey Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, home of master distillers Jimmy and Eddie Russell. Wild Turkey calls it an ode to America's first distilled spirit, and it is made from the distillery's rye mash bill of 51% rye, 37% corn and 12% malted barley, aged in barrels with the deepest number-four alligator char for extra flavor, and bottled at 81 proof.
Because the mash is barely over half rye and the proof is low, this drinks softer and sweeter than most ryes, with big vanilla and honey up front, spiced apple and toast, and a woody, charcoal-tinged finish from those heavily charred barrels. Wild Turkey designed it to stand up to mixers, and that is where it belongs: a Rye and Ginger, a Whiskey Sour or a highball. If you want the full-strength version for a Manhattan, Wild Turkey 101 Rye is the step up, but for an easy, inexpensive pour with the Wild Turkey name on it, the 81 does the job.
