Updated March 2026.
There is no official “best Wild Turkey.” The 101 product page on wildturkeybourbon.com prints “101-proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon” and “101 proof aged between 6–8 years” — that age line is brand copy, not treated as a TTB age statement. A 1.5-ounce pour at 50.5% ABV is 1.26 NIAAA drinks. Rare Breed is barrel proof. The 101 8-Year-Old is a different, age-stated SKU. Campari / Lawrenceburg. No invented mash % or 2026 MSRP.
