Why Liquor Geeks recommends it

This is Kentucky rye bottled at cask strength, 112.8 proof (56.4% ABV), from Wild Turkey Distillery under master distillers Jimmy and Eddie Russell. It is not chill-filtered, which preserves the full-bodied, rich texture the bottling is known for, and it draws its character from new charred oak. Expect rye spice and black pepper up front, then vanilla, caramel, cinnamon and baking spice over a frame of oak, with real warmth and depth through the finish. It suits the drinker who already knows rye and wants it with the volume turned up, and it rewards anyone who likes to tune a pour with a few drops of water. It also builds a Manhattan or Old Fashioned that holds its ground against vermouth and bitters. Whisky Advocate ranked it #5 among its Top 20 Whiskies of 2020, but we carry it for a simpler reason: it is an uncompromising, full-strength rye from the iconic Wild Turkey Distillery, and it earns its shelf space every time we open one.

Pairs well with

Perfectly grilled ribeye steak — The whiskey's black pepper and rye spice echo a charred crust, while its caramel and vanilla round out the richness of the meat.
Smoky barbecued ribs — Caramel and cinnamon notes play off sweet, sticky glazes as the full-bodied, warming palate stands up to smoke.
Celebratory toast with friends — Its depth and warmth make a slow, neat pour feel like an occasion, which is exactly how the producer suggests enjoying it.
