Wild Turkey 101 Rye Review
Whether considering price, quality, or versatility, this rye ticks all the boxes of a solid house whiskey. Well rounded, with a sweet profile, notes of fresh herbs and savory spices add an extra dimension to its profile. At 101 proof, it’s more than capable of holding its own in cocktails, while a fairly lengthy finish cements its suitability as a companion for a beer.
