Range
The Wild Turkey label carries a vividly printed, seemingly engraved illustration of its namesake. In the USA, six varieties of the bourbon are generally available: 81 proof (formerly 80 proof), 101 proof, Kentucky Spirit, Russell's Reserve, and Rare Breed.
Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit is a single barrel version at 101 proof, Russell's Reserve, a 10 year old named for master distiller Jimmy Russell, is 90 proof, and the Rare Breed is a blend of 6, 8 and 12-year-old stocks at 108.4 barrel proof.
Wild Turkey 101 earned an 'Editor's Choice' award from Whisky Magazine.
The Wild Turkey brand has also been extended to a rye whiskey, made from a mash of roughly 65% rye, 23% corn and 12% barley, and to a honey liqueur, called American Honey. International spirit ratings organizations have consistently given favorable reviews to the Wild Turkey 101 Single Barrel. Proof66.com, aggregator of reviews from various "expert" bodies, places the 101 Single Barrel in the 97th percentile of all rated bourbons.
