Let’s get one thing straight — all bourbon is whiskey, but not all whiskey is bourbon. Bourbon tastes stronger and sweeter than other whiskeys. That’s because it’s distilled from a key ingredient: corn. Bourbon is America’s native spirit, and 95% of it comes from Kentucky.

To call your bourbon Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey it must be aged in new, charred oak barrels for at least 2 years and be made in Kentucky.

== WILD TURKEY 81 ==

Classic Wild Turkey spicy kick

Wild Turkey 81 proof bourbon is aged 5-8 years – longer than any other bourbon in its class. To give it that Wild Turkey signature kick, Eddie Russell uses a high-rye mash bill and aged it in famous #4 Alligator Char American oak barrels. Wild Turkey 81 shines on its own or in a mixed drink.
