Wild Turkey – 101 Rye (75cl, 50.5%)

Wild Turkey 101 Rye is a Kentucky straight rye whiskey from the Wild Turkey distillery in Lawrenceburg, made with a high proportion of rye. It is bottled at 50.5% ABV (101 proof) in a 750ml bottle and sits alongside the Wild Turkey 101 bourbon. The rye spice is pronounced, with the caramel and oak of the Wild Turkey house style behind it. It works neat or on the rocks, and holds its character in a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned. The nose is spicy rye grain, toasted oak and a hint of caramel. On the palate come rye spice, vanilla, oak and a touch of citrus, and the finish is long and warm, with lingering spice and a subtle sweetness.
