The Wild Turkey Rye 81 Proof is a tribute to America's first distilled spirit, rye whiskey, boasting an alcohol content of 40.5% (81 proof). This exceptional whiskey is crafted by the renowned Wild Turkey Distillery, located in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, USA. Made using a unique yeast strain and aged in heavily charred oak barrels, the whiskey develops its distinctive flavor profile. The primary flavors explode with big, broad vanilla and spice notes that perfectly complement the bold rye taste. This small-batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon undergoes a unique filtration process using Texas Mesquite and oak charcoals, resulting in a nuanced and enriched flavor experience.
The craftsmanship of Wild Turkey Rye extends to its distillation process, which incorporates a continuous distillation method utilizing a mash bill predominantly composed of ground rye. The whiskey is then aged in barrels with a higher "alligator" char, imparting its signature flavors. Kentucky limestone-filtered water is added during the bottling process to reduce the alcohol content from its original cask strength and the Rye 101.
Versatility is one of Wild Turkey Rye 81 Proof's strengths; it can be savored neat, with a splash of water, or on the rocks. It also serves as an excellent base for classic cocktails such as the Manhattan, Sazerac, and Rye Swizzle.
