Detailed Description
Wild Turkey Straight Rye Whiskey is an 81 proof (40.5% alcohol) ode to America’s first distilled spirit: rye whiskey. When making Wild Turkey Rye, we use a deeper Alligator Char for extra flavor. Big, broad vanilla and spice notes burst through without changing the bold rye taste. Wild Turkey Rye stands up to any mixer and shines through in cocktails.
Wild Turkey Rye Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: Spicy note complimented by charred white oak barrels.

Finish: Finishing off with intensely sweet cherry and licorice notes.
