The Rye That Stands Up to Any Mixer
Wild Turkey distils its ryes from a single mash bill built on the legal-minimum 51% rye, balanced by a generous corn share — a rounder, sweeter Kentucky style of rye rather than a lean high-rye one — and ages it in the deepest-charred American white oak in the warehouse. At a full 101 proof it is built, in the brand's own framing, as a tribute to Master Distiller Jimmy Russell's conviction that rye should never be watered down into the background of a drink.

Tasting Notes
Per the producer: a deep golden amber colour; a rich, balanced aroma of vanilla and spice, with caramel and honey; warm, smoky flavours of grain and spice on the palate; and a long, lingering spicy finish with hints of smoke.
How to Enjoy
This is the rye for a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned that tastes like rye — the proof and spice shine through any mixer. It also drinks happily neat with a single cube. More Kentucky rye is in our rye whiskey collection.
