Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit 9-27-94 Barrel #5 101 Proof

101 proof. Single barrel #5. Distilled September 27, 1994. Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit — one of the founding-era single barrel releases from one of American whiskey's earliest single barrel programs.

Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit launched in the early 1990s as one of the first single barrel bourbons in American whiskey, following Blanton's 1984 founding of the category. The September 27, 1994 distillation date is documented on the label — a specific day of production at Wild Turkey's Lawrenceburg, Kentucky distillery during Jimmy Russell's long tenure as master distiller.

Now over 30 years from its distillation date, this barrel represents Wild Turkey production from the same era that produced the Gold Foil series also in the Wooden Cork collection. The 101-proof presentation at natural barrel specification reflects the Wild Turkey house style — the 101-proof standard that has defined the brand since Prohibition's repeal.
