Wild Turkey Kentucky Bourbon is one of the world’s best-selling bourbons — aged for a minimum of 5 years in American White Oak barrels with the deepest No. 4 “alligator” char, which imparts the rich, full flavour and deep colour that have made Wild Turkey a benchmark of Kentucky bourbon. Full and rich, with notes of sweet vanilla, pear, and hints of spice, and a finish that is long and satisfying whether enjoyed straight or with a mixer. Behind every bottle is Jimmy Russell — the longest-tenured active master distiller in the world, with over 60 years of uncompromising dedication to quality. Known as the Buddha of Bourbon, and the Master Distiller’s Master Distiller, Jimmy has never wavered. Plain old Jimmy from Kentucky — and one of the greatest figures in American whiskey history.
Tasting Notes
Appearance

Aroma
Sweet vanilla and pear lead, with hints of spice adding warmth and complexity. The No. 4 “alligator” char imparts a rich, deep character that is immediately recognisable as Wild Turkey — full, generous, and inviting.
Palate
Full and rich — sweet vanilla, pear, and spice carry through a palate of genuine depth and satisfaction. The No. 4 “alligator” char delivers the bold, rich flavour that has made Wild Turkey one of the world’s best-selling bourbons, with a finish that is long, warming, and deeply rewarding.
Pairs With
Wild Turkey Kentucky Bourbon is exceptional neat, on the rocks, or as the foundation for a classic Old Fashioned or Whiskey Sour — equally rewarding alongside BBQ ribs, smoked brisket, dark chocolate, and pecan pie.
