Wild Turkey 101 is a versatile Kentucky Straight Bourbon with a high rye content, offering intense flavors of vanilla, caramel, oak, and a medley of spices. The aroma presents sweet vanilla and cinnamon notes, while the taste profile includes a balance of sweet, spicy, and citrusy elements. With a smooth texture and a lingering finish, it provides a great value experience for bourbon enthusiasts seeking a flavorful and affordable option.

It's not as sharp as I remember Wild Turkey being, it's a little bit softer but you still get all those nice flavors. $25 for a six to eight year old product is so welcoming, it's so needed.

It's a really intense strong whiskey with rye flavors, oak flavors, with caramel, vanilla, and at the beginning, you think okay the Rye is overwhelming, no, it's actually pretty balanced. It's not so overwhelmingly expensive that you'd waste all the flavors to the food, so you can enjoy the food together with the whiskey and both would be in about comparison as an intensity.

I definitely get a touch of sweetness up front. It dominates with oak in the middle palate and then towards the end dissipates into a little bit of vanilla and caramel. This might be the best value in Bourbon right now.
The Average Drinker
On the nose I get a light oak, orange peel, toffee, and vanilla. For the price you can't beat it, 20 to 25 dollars.

Smells like whiskey. It's very classic bourbon, caramel, vanilla, Oak. Those are our classic bourbon notes. $25 for a 750ml bottle, high value in that regard.

What Makes This Bourbon So Great? Wild Turkey 101 (2021)
I think the new Wild Turkey 101 is sweeter with a little bit of a softer touch to it. It's not as edgy as some of the previous ones, it just has a little bit more refinement to it.

Is Wild Turkey 101 ACTUALLY WORTH BUYING in 2023? | Classics Revisited
This would be more of an everyday zipper that I wouldn't feel bad drinking because of the quality. It's a good quality that I won't feel like I'm missing out by drinking something that's $25 whiskey.
