Wild Turkey 8-Year-Old Vintage Kentucky Straight Bourbon

The 1979 Wild Turkey 101 with an 8-year age statement is a bourbon collector’s gem. Distilled during the Austin-Nichols era and bottled by Wild Turkey, it utilizes a blend of 6-, 8-, and 12-year-aged stocks—offering a layered and rich character true to the classic Wild Turkey expression.

Once a staple in international markets, this age-stated version became scarce domestically for decades. Today, pristine bottles, complete with crisp labels and filled levels, are considered curator-level treasures, often commanding premium prices.
