Wild Turkey 101 Proof Christmas Rye Whiskey 1991
Wild Turkey 101 Proof Christmas Rye Whiskey 1991
Description
Wild Turkey 101 Proof Christmas Rye Whiskey 1991 — a rare 1991 bottling of Wild Turkey's Kentucky straight rye whiskey, now over 30 years from original bottling. The 'Christmas Rye' designation and presentation identifies this as a holiday gift-market release from the pre-revival era, when Wild Turkey produced rye whiskey from its Lawrenceburg facility before the style nearly disappeared from American shelves entirely.
Wild Turkey's distillery-produced rye from the pre-revival era is a genuine historical artifact — the distillery was one of the very few major American producers maintaining a rye program through the lean years before the rye revival. The 101 proof and 1991 bottling places this squarely in the pre-revival production era, distilled approximately 1979-1981 and aged in Wild Turkey's Lawrenceburg rickhouses before bottling in 1991 for the holiday market.
