W.B. Saffell Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
W.B. Saffell Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a 375mL bourbon bottled non-chill-filtered at 107 proof (53.5% ABV). It's a blend of 6-, 8-, 10-, and 12-year-old Kentucky straight bourbons from the Whiskey Barons Collection — Wild Turkey's tribute to the legendary pre-Prohibition distillers — crafted with Master Distiller Eddie Russell.
William Butler Saffell began distilling as a teenager and built his first distillery in 1889, producing a delicate golden bourbon that became a treasure of pre-Prohibition America. This release honors him with the distillery's classic high-rye mash bill (75% corn, 13% rye, 12% malted barley), married from mature barrels and bottled at full flavor. The 375mL format is a smart way to explore a limited, allocated bourbon without committing to a full fifth.
Tasting notes: The nose shows caramel, creamy vanilla, dried fruit, seasoned oak, and warm baking spice. The palate is rich — caramel, vanilla, black pepper, cinnamon, and dark fruit over toasted oak. The finish is long and warming, with lingering spice, vanilla, and gentle pepper.
