Welcome back to DadDimes on the Rocks, where we explore the stories behind the spirits. Today, we're diving into a bottle that has bourbon enthusiasts buzzing: Wild Turkey 101 8-Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, with our Special Guests Ashley Christen and Ivan Ross.
This age-stated release marks a triumphant return for a brand steeped in tradition.
🦃 The Legacy Returns
Wild Turkey's 101 proof bourbon has long been a staple for whiskey lovers, but the reintroduction of the 8-year age statement in 2025 has elevated its status. This expression pays homage to the brand's commitment to quality and craftsmanship, offering a more mature and refined profile compared to its non-age-stated counterpart.
🥃 Tasting Notes
Nose: Inviting aromas of vanilla cake frosting, nutty toffee, and woody spice, with hints of dried orange peel.
Palate: A harmonious blend of caramel syrup, peppery oak, and coffee cake with cinnamon crumbles, complemented by toasted nutmeg.
Finish: Long and lingering, featuring notes of brown sugar, dried fruit, vanilla, and allspice.
💬 Final Thoughts
The Wild Turkey 101 8-Year stands as a testament to the brand's dedication to producing high-quality bourbon. Its rich and complex profile offers a satisfying experience for both seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers alike. At a retail price of around $55, it delivers exceptional value, making it a worthy addition to any whiskey collection.
