Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit (Pewter Top) 9-22-94 Barrel #5 101 Proof

101 proof. Single Barrel #5. Dated 9-22-94. Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit — a September 22, 1994-dated single barrel expression from Wild Turkey’s Kentucky Spirit program, now over 30 years from original bottling and one of the older dated Kentucky Spirit expressions in the Wooden Cork collection.

Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit is the distillery’s named single barrel program — each bottle carrying the barrel number, warehouse, and dump date that identifies it as a specific individual barrel selection. Barrel #5, dated 9/22/94, is a pre-revival era expression from the mid-1990s when Wild Turkey was producing exceptional bourbon primarily for export markets. The 9-22-94 dump date places this in the same era as the 9-27-94 Barrel dated bottle also previously in the collection.

At 101 proof, the Kentucky Spirit format presents single barrel bourbon at a standard proof rather than cask strength, reflecting the program’s philosophy of accessible single barrel character rather than maximum concentration.
