Wild Turkey Jimmy Russell 8 year 750 ML
About this bottle
Wild Turkey Jimmy Russell 8 Year is a Kentucky straight bourbon named for the distillery's longtime master distiller, who has worked at Wild Turkey for more than six decades. This expression spends eight years in charred American oak, selected to honor his tenure with a fuller, more mature profile than Wild Turkey's standard release. Expect caramel and vanilla up front, a solid layer of oak, and a warm, peppery spice that's typical of Wild Turkey's house style. It drinks rounder and a touch richer than the 101, without losing the brand's signature backbone. A well-rounded bourbon for someone who already likes Wild Turkey and wants a step up, or a bourbon drinker who values distillery history behind the label.
How to drink Wild Turkey Jimmy Russell 8 Year
Neat or on the rocks both work here — eight years in oak gives it enough body to take a single cube without going thin. It's also sturdy enough for a Kentucky Mule or a simple Old Fashioned if you'd rather mix it.
