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 by Austin Nichols in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky.
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.
The legendary master distiller Jimmy Russell has been producing Wild Turkey 101 for over 60 years. This bourbon is characterized by a high proportion of rye and is matured in deeply charred American white oak barrels. This special charring gives it an intense character with rich aromas of caramel, vanilla and oak. Wild Turkey 101 remains a classic of bourbon production and stands for the highest quality and tradition.

Neben Rum von so ziemlich allen Inseln der Welt, ist dieser Bourbon Whiskey das beste was ich jemals auf der Zunge hatte! Ich kannte aber ehrlich gesagt nur deutlich günstigere Whiskeys, darunter natürlich Klassiker wie Jim Beam White Label, oder eben Jack Daniels Old No.7. Ich ging mit wenig Erwartungshaltung an den Wild Turkey 101 ran und wurde sehr angenehm überrascht. Er schmeckt sehr lecker nach Vanille, Toffee und Honig, dann kommen auch die Mais und Roggennoten hervor, aber wo bitteschön ist der Alkohol? Da brennen teilweise 40%ige Abfüllungen wie Feuerwasser, bei den 50,5% muss man den Alkohol eher suchen, was für eine excellente Qualität spricht. Wenn Bourbon, dann wird es für mich nur noch den Wild Turkey 101 geben, aber pur, alles andere wandert in die Coke!
