Wild Turkey Kentucky Straight BOURBON Whiskey 40,5% Vol. 0,7l

The history of Wild Turkey begins in 1869 with the founding of the Ripy Distillery on a hill, now known as Wild Turkey Hill, above a gorge of the Kentucky River. The distillery was closed in 1919 due to Prohibition, but reopened in 1933. Since 1941, Wild Turkey whiskeys have been produced in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, by Austin Nichols. The brand name Wild Turkey was established in 1940 when Thomas McCarthy, a manager of the Ripy Distillery, regularly brought the whiskey to turkey hunts and it became increasingly well-known as a result. Wild Turkey Kentucky Straight Bourbon, created by Master Distiller Eddie Russell, was introduced in 2011. This bourbon matures for six to eight years in carefully selected oak barrels, significantly longer than many other whiskies in its category. For the maturation, 81 American oak barrels were used, which have the "No. 4 char" roast level, also known as "Alligator Char". This Wild Turkey is not a lighter offshoot of the 101, as the 80 proof used to be, but a completely new whiskey from Austin Nichols. With its unique maturation and careful selection of barrels, it clearly stands out from other bourbons and offers an incomparable taste experience.
