    Wild Turkey 101 is my favorite bourbon. I'm 58 and I've been drinking it since high school. It's good enough to drink straight and it makes great cocktails. I'm not a connoisseur though, I'm a consumer.

    I JUST started my Bourbon journey. I got first 2 bottles: Evan Williams Black Label and Wild Turkey 101. Although the Evan Williams is pretty good, Wild Turkey 101 is DEFINITELY the standard to beat for me. Sipping on that WT101 was a real treat. I really enjoyed it. Thank you for the recommendations. I have gotten a lot of good suggestions from your channel. You have a new sub. Thank you.

      evan williams bottled in bond is solid as well if you like WT101 and EW Black. If you want to spend a little more, I also love Woodford reserve, double oak. I’m still pretty new to Bourbon myself, but I’ve enjoyed all of those bottles over the last year

    Funny thing is: in a blind test, Wild Turkey is chosen as the best bourbon by everyone I give it to.
    Especially the Bourbon snobs I have suckered into betting.
    Straight up is the way to drink it, but for those who like a mixed drink, Sprite and a twist of lemon is all you need.
    It's not, and has never been, a Bourbon for snobs and pretenders.
    It's a bourbon for real people to enjoy.

Wt101 makes an exceptional old fashion. If im drinking and an old fashion its always wt101 or knob creek 9 year.

Standard Jim Beam, Jack Daniels, Evan Williams, etc ARE like paint stripper to me now, but Wild Turkey remains uniquely tasty.

    It might have been high rye in the 70s but not really by today’s standards. I love Jimmy but he can be a bit of a used car salesman when he wants to be. As far as being an exceptional whiskey and maintaining that continuously since the 50s, Wild Turkey is untouchable. When it comes to each big brand’s flagship whiskey Wild Turkey smokes everybody in the Bourbon world. Also, to get the true Wild Turkey experience I fully recommend you take a whole mouthful(1.5-2oz) chew it by letting it roll over the tongue and the whole soft palette and swallow. That deep vanilla hit, followed by a breathtaking fruit and barrel char is the essence of what Bourbon should be. Very well crafted, but still a little wild. Like the frontier that produced it.

      Better Value... Fighting Cock, Early Times BIB, Evan Williams BIB, JW Dant BIB, JTS Brown, Ancient Ancient Age 10*, Elijah Criag Small Batch those are the only ones I can think of that are good and also less than 101.. which is $24 here.

      I'm not a fan of the 9yr KC. To me, there's just too much burn and not enough flavor. I've always enjoyed Maker's in my old fashioneds but since discovering WT 101... it's my new go to. Excellent in old fashioneds and drinkable neat.

      @@marcusbuckslayer3280 WT 101 is what I primarily use in my old fashioneds, too. 2 oz of WT 101, .25 oz demerara syrup, and either 3 dashes of aromatic + orange bitters, or black walnut bitters is fantastic. Adding some cocoa bitters with the black walnut isn't bad, either. Another great whiskey is Rittenhouse Rye bottled in bond - it goes even better with black walnut than Wild Turkey. What's your favorite old fashioned recipe?

    101 neat is a decent pour, but over ice, the flavors really open up. The sweetness and spices last a bit longer and are more enjoyable. Like many here, 101 would be my daily pour.....if I drank it daily 😆

      @@WhiskyForBeginners ok never mind that i have been testing those 2 for a while now since i just bought them and the rebel 100 is a No go Yuck taste waay too young I'm getting them sour barrel notes you only get from very young bourbon but also its kinda sweet since it is a wheaten bourbon which i went ahead and researched Rebel 100 and of course only 2 years in the barrel compared to Wild Turkey which taste a lot better which was aged from 6-8 years which kind hard to believe seems younger? was very light in color when poured too! But Wild Turkey Rare Breed is My Fave nothing Beats that for $65 in my opinion good ole Barrel proof full flavor straight from the barrel dark brown sugar Bourbon with amazing flavor and proof shit light ups in Blue Flames better than Moonshine almost lmfao No cap!!! @116 proof

      @@G3T_R3KT_XM8 Rebel 100 is at least four years old. It's a straight whisky with no age statement, and US regulations require an age statement on straight whisky that's fewer than four years old. If it were only two years old, by law it would have an age statement.
      Now regular Rebel, which if I remember correctly is only 80 proof, may be that young. It's certainly awful stuff.

      Ok I'm back. I coughed up $42 for the 1 liter bottle tonight and in Westchester NY, it is roughly the same price as JD no.7. Ok this is my review...It smells really good and although I got used to JD, WT101 is just as good if not better. Flavor is smoother than JD and the taste of Oak is slightly prominent than JD and the spiciness on the backend is much longer which I love quite a bit. I grew to love JD and so WT101 may just be one I might wind up buying over JD and I hate saying that because I've been drinking JD steadily for some time now. It's kinda sad that I might have found a new love. You know what, I'll have both and why not? They're both great for the price and unique in their own way and that's not a bad thing. Cheers bourbon gang!
