340: Wild Turkey 101: Revisiting a Classic & Tasting the New 8 Year Release

In this episode of Bourbon Lens, Jake and Scott take a deep dive into one of the most iconic bottles in American whiskey: Wild Turkey 101. From its long-standing role as a go-to everyday bourbon to the newly released Wild Turkey 101 8 Year, we explore what makes this brand a staple in bourbon culture.

We compare the standard Wild Turkey 101 to the newly age-stated 8 Year release, now available in the United States after previously being an international-only offering. You’ll hear our tasting notes, thoughts on value, and how this release fits into the Wild Turkey lineup.
