Wild Turkey Jimmy Russell's 70th Anniversary is an 8-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon bottled at 50.5% ABV to mark master distiller Jimmy Russell’s long career with the distillery. It sits in a fuller-flavoured, classic bourbon style, with the extra proof giving it more richness and intensity than an easy-drinking standard bottling.
For a novice drinker, expect a bourbon profile led by oak, vanilla, caramel, and spice rather than smoke or peat. The age statement suggests a more developed barrel character while still keeping the bold, straightforward character that Wild Turkey is known for.
