Kentucky Straight Bourbon with character
Wild Turkey 81 Proof is the little brother of the legendary Wild Turkey 101 – and impresses with its own balanced style. With an alcohol content of 40.5% vol., this bourbon has been specially developed for bartenders and cocktail lovers without losing any of its depth. It is produced at the Wild Turkey Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky – an icon of the bourbon world.
Master Distiller Eddie Russell, son of whiskey legend Jimmy Russell, deliberately chose barrels with intense barrel characteristics for the ’81 Bourbon. The result is a whiskey with a strong but smooth profile: vanilla, honey, toffee and oak dominate, while a spicy rye edge and delicate smoke provide depth. Wild Turkey 81 remains accessible and versatile – a bourbon for every day with quality that sets it apart from the rest.

Wild Turkey 81 is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks, but it also shows strength and balance in classic bourbon cocktails such as the Whiskey Sour, Old Fashioned or Mint Julep. Ideal for beginners and connoisseurs looking for an honest, full-bodied bourbon with character.
