Wild Turkey Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is an American rye whiskey produced by the historic Wild Turkey distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. It is made from a grain mash composed of 51% rye, 37% corn and 12% malted barley, following the classic Kentucky rye style, which is softer and rounder than some particularly dry and sharp rye whiskeys. It is matured in new charred American oak barrels and bottled at 40.5% ABV / 81 proof.
On the nose, it offers broad notes of vanilla, sweet spices, oak and light toast. On the palate, it is lively yet balanced, with hints of caramel, pepper, spicy rye, toasted wood and a subtle smoky note. The finish is persistent, dry and spicy, with a clean ending that enhances the character of the rye.
Wild Turkey Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is ideal to enjoy neat, over ice or in cocktails. Its spicy structure makes it particularly suitable for classic drinks such as Manhattan, Old Fashioned, Sazerac and Whiskey Sour, where it brings intensity, balance and the typical dry note of American rye whiskey.
