Wild Turkey 81 Proof is a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, crafted using a high-rye mash bill and aged in deeply charred American oak barrels. Created by master distiller Eddie Russell, it offers a bold yet approachable character, making it suitable for sipping or mixing.
Tasting Notes:
Appearance: Deep amber.
Nose: Notes of vanilla, caramel, toasted oak, and a hint of citrus.
Palate: Smooth and rich with layers of sweet toffee, spice, and orange peel, balanced by gentle oak.
Finish: Long and warming, with soft spice and lingering vanilla sweetness.
Pair with an Oliva Serie V Melanio for a rich and elegant match. The cigar’s bold yet smooth profile with notes of dark chocolate and spice complements the bourbon’s sweet, smoky warmth.
