Wild Turkey distiller Jimmy Russell has been making bourbon for 60 years. In Wild Turkey 101, 101 refers to 101 Proof, or 50.5% alcohol by volume. As you sip it, the spirit is medium-bodied, with a finish that is smooth and warming. With a little water, as Jimmy prefers it, the aromas open up, and the heat is diminished.
