Nothing wrong with this one. It just doesn't have that "BAM!" of my favorites. But it has some kick while still being smooth, and a very good primary flavor. Wood, charcoal, beef jerky. No complaints. 50.5% alc (101 proof). NOTE: I can't recommend the 80 proof version.

I agree that WT 101 isn't a top shelf bourbon, but I do think it's an essential in any whiskey drinker's cabinet.
I find it to be a reliable choice for making a number of whiskey-based cocktails - Manhattans, Sazeracs, etc. The rye spiciness and less sweet flavor is the key.
If I'm mixing one up for myself, I'll use something nicer, but WT 101 is my go-to for other folk.
I have a full review of Wild Turkey 101 Bourbon on my own blog too.
