Description

Wild Turkey 101 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a classic American whiskey crafted by Master Distiller Jimmy Russell for over 60 years. It features a high rye content and is aged in American White Oak barrels with the deepest char (#4 alligator char) for a bold and flavorful character. This iconic bourbon is a blend of bourbons typically aged between 6-8 years, though it carries no age statement for the domestic market. Bottled at 101 proof (50.5% ABV), it offers rich notes of caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, and warm baking spices, making it versatile for sipping neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails.

Sharp oak leads; spice and sweetness seem to keep it in balance.

The orange zest and citrus brightness give this bourbon a welcome fresh edge, while rye spice and oak bring plenty of weight. The dry, spicy finish may be a bit much for anyone after a lighter style.

Rye spice and oak give the vanilla, toffee and caramel a lively contrast, with orange zest adding brightness. The listed SGD 110 is useful price context; the flavour combination is what makes this look appealing.

The documented character puts rye spice and oak alongside vanilla and brown sugar, which gives the bourbon a useful tension between dry, spicy notes and sweeter ones. Orange zest carries through from the nose to the finish. That sounds more engaging than a simple sweetness-led profile, though the number of listed flavours makes it hard to tell which details are most prominent. The new charred American oak cask is stated, but that alone does not establish a maturation sequence or duration. Overall, a clear, spice-forward direction with enough sweetness to keep it balanced.
