Said to be the second single-barrel bourbon to hit the market after Blanton’s in 1994, Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit Single Barrel Bourbon is crafted from hand-selected barrels chosen by father and son duo Jimmy and Eddie Russell; master distillers with 100 years of combined distilling experience. W.T. Kentucky Spirit is NAS bourbon composed of a mash bill containing 75% corn, 13% rye, and 12% malted barley and is finished to a barrel strength of 101 proof.
The nose is a blend of spiced rye and cinnamon layered with caramel, wild honey, and tobacco smoke splashed with citrus. The tongue enjoys warm rye spice, crushed tobacco, and leather over hints of pecans, honey, and caramel-slathered oak.
