Oooo! Wild Turkey 12 Year Distiller's Reserve 101! I obviously have not been able to try this due to it being export. It's not impossible to find however, but expect to pay about $180 currently. I believe it's every bit as good as 12 year Wild Turkey sounds like it would be! Just not $180 before shipping good... Russell's Reserve 10 Year should still be roughly $40-45. I'm not aware of any price changes for it. Although there was some buzz recently here regarding the LL/ME laser coded bottles. Supposedly those batches had older juice blended in and the rumor was that it was rejected Russell's 15 barrels. That didn't turn out to be the case, it was 12 or 13 year old barrels but still pretty interesting. As to the 70th Anniversary bottle and that becoming a regularly available product, that's partially true. The 70th Anniversary bottle was a litmus test for returning the 8 year age statement to the US market. For a while now it has been export (mainly Japan) only. This would explain the loss of Wild Turkey funk on the regular 101 bottles, being that well aged barrels were being diverted for the 70th Anniversary, Russell's 15/13/Single Rickhouse/etc. So they weren't being blended into normal production unfortunately. Hence the disappearance of the funk note. Merry Christmas also! Thanks for sharing!

The nice thing is this is only $60 in Japan if you get someone to bring one back.

I’d love that bottle for $60. I need more international friends. Cheers 🥃
