Wild Turkey 8 Year 1988 Straight Bourbon Whiskey 1L
Wild Turkey 8 Year 1988 Straight Bourbon Whiskey 1L
Description
Distilled circa 1976. Bottled 1988. Wild Turkey 8 Year 1988 Straight Bourbon Whiskey 1 Liter — a vintage one-liter format expression of Wild Turkey 8 Year from 1988, now nearly 40 years from original bottling. The 8-year age statement and 1988 vintage place this in the pre-modern era Wild Turkey production under the original Lawrenceburg formula.
The 1988 Wild Turkey 8 Year is from the same production era as the Gold Foil 12 Year vintages in the collection (1985, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992) — the high-rye, 101-proof style that defines classic Wild Turkey before the modern era. At 8 years rather than 12, this expression offers an earlier snapshot of the same spirit, now preserved as a time capsule of pre-revival Wild Turkey production. The 1L format is the original large-format offering from that era.
