Wild Turkey 101 is a danged fine 'daily pour' bourbon. These days it's no longer an 'age statement' bottle (used to be 7 years in the not too distant past) but is usually 'mingled' from some older, some younger whiskey until it hit's a sweet taste spot. If you're making a mixed drink, an old fashioned etc...a great starting point.

I can't speak to the Wild Turkey 86 proof - I'm not a fan of lower proof boubon. With that in mind I will say that I prefer to spend a little more and buy Wild Turkey Rare Breed, which usually markets @ 117 proof or so. I buy mine @ Costco/MO - best price I've found yet. As part of my constant diet, I only get one drink per day, and when you're only having one - have a good one, as the kids say.
