Wild Turkey 101 Bourbon is Wild Turkey’s flagship brand. Wild Turkey is
distilled at a very low proof in order to help embody all of the barrel
flavors during aging. It comes out of the barrel at around 109 proof
necessitating only slight dilution before being bottled at 101 proof. This
process helps produce a final product that, although not barrel proof, is
very close to what came right out of the barrel. Wild Turkey also uses the
heaviest char # 4 (aside from the rare use of the even heavier char #5)
on their barrels which helps create the company’s flavor profile and
deep color.
