Wild Turkey Throwdown: 101 vs 101.8
The old saying goes that Wild Turkey is just "country whiskey," but true bourbon lovers know better. This week, we're putting two expressions from this iconic Kentucky distillery head-to-head: the classic Wild Turkey 101 against the more elusive Wild Turkey 101.8.
What's the difference between these two nearly identical-proof bourbons? About two years minimum in the barrel and roughly $18 at retail. While the standard 101 blends spirits aged 6-8 years, the 101.8 contains only bourbons aged a minimum of 8 years. That time difference creates distinctly different drinking experiences despite sharing the same mash bill of 75% corn, 13% rye, and 12% malted barley.
Our tasting reveals the standard 101 delivers that characteristic Wild Turkey spice right on the tip of the tongue, with that warming Kentucky hug following close behind. It's bold, assertive, and perfect for cocktails - especially old-fashioneds where its spice cuts beautifully through the sweetness. At around $27, it's a spectacular value that deserves a permanent place on your bar cart.
Meanwhile, the 101.8 shows its additional maturation through a creamier mouthfeel with pronounced caramel-vanilla notes that one taster describes as "vanilla cake frosting." The flavors linger longer on the mid-palate, making it an exceptional sipper for enjoying neat. Originally available only in Asian markets since 1992, this expression is now finding its way to American shelves at around $45.
Both expressions showcase the deep #4 char ("alligator char") that's signature to Wild Turkey, housed in new American oak barrels that impart distinctive vanilla and caramel notes. Whether you're mixing cocktails or sipping neat, these Wild Turkey offerings prove they're far more sophisticated than their reputation might suggest. Gobble gobble, indeed!

August Gitschlag: 1:54
Sorkin yeah the whole podcast was a Walk Talk. He's a tool. Although we were behind the go anyhow, so you're sitting over there without any cans on your head. No, I don't, you're naked there's only four sets of headphones. So just so you know your microphone doesn't work at all and I can't hear a word.
Jamie Flanagan: 2:15
You're saying we're just going to go with it here fair enough, I believe you we're going to get into some wild turkey.
August Gitschlag: 2:26
Gobble, gobble. Motherfucker, this is your go-to.
Jamie Flanagan: 2:31
Halfway to Thanksgiving.
August Gitschlag: 2:32
I blame a certain bartender in Hamtramck many years ago, Remy, who now works at whatever the bar inside the Marriott Hotel in the Rent Center.
Jennifer Burke: 2:43
He's there now.
August Gitschlag: 2:44
Years ago I was sitting down. He goes. I'm like you know we want to have a shot because you work here now and I just worked there for a few weeks. He goes gobble, gobble, motherfucker, and grabbed a bottle of wild turkey off the back of the bar and ever since I'm like, oh wow, I mean people used to make fun of got the daughter in the clinic getting cured off the wild turkey, you know, and so it's like considered like country whiskey. But uh, it's not to me it's. I'll take a bottle of regular wild turkey over buffalo trace any day of the week what's another brand that gets a bad?
Spencer Burke: 3:13
one really, oh yeah that's throwing it down, no I'm talking about the one-on-one.
August Gitschlag: 3:17
I'm talking about your daily drinker like a maker like regular makers, absolutely we'll have to do a blind.
Jamie Flanagan: 3:21
I'd like the flavor we should have done, we'll have to do a blind on that.
Spencer Burke: 3:24
I'd like the flavor. We should have done that. We need to do blind next on that.
Jamie Flanagan: 3:27
We'll do a blind on that one.
August Gitschlag: 3:28
Well, we can do that.
Jamie Flanagan: 3:29
Yeah.
August Gitschlag: 3:29
And then the other products that Wild Turkey is coming out with their whole rare breed line is just exceptionally delicious.
Matt Fox: 3:36
I'd like to see you try that with the Weller's 12 Antique against your wild turkey.
August Gitschlag: 3:41
All right, well, let's not get too crazy yeah.
Jamie Flanagan: 3:43
I'm talking about Buffalo Trap.
August Gitschlag: 3:44
I'm talking about what costs, you know 40 bucks a bottle.
Spencer Burke: 3:47
Oh, that's fair, you know $38 or less State minimum though State minimum's right.
August Gitschlag: 3:52
You know I ain't getting crazy here.
Jamie Flanagan: 3:53
Well, the Wild Turkey 101,. I just picked that up at Keiko's.
August Gitschlag: 4:05
I stopped in to see Joe and ouranni.
Jamie Flanagan: 4:05
They should start giving me bottles for plugging them. They should have a commercial.
August Gitschlag: 4:08
It was only $29 for the 101.
Jamie Flanagan: 4:12
$26. I can't tell you how much.
August Gitschlag: 4:14
I paid for the 108. Was it $50? I had a couple other bottles, and the whole thing came to $160. I'm like, well, I got some tequila with that and a couple other bottles, and the whole thing came to $160,. And I'm like, well, I got some tequila with that and I got a couple other things. And so here we go. It's not like I'm walking out of Hardin's place with a $100 bottle of whiskey I wasn't planning on buying, and then I bought two. You bought two of them. I didn't even open that one yet.
Jamie Flanagan: 4:43
I'm going to let that't borrow for $40.
August Gitschlag: 4:45
That was worthwhile. Yeah, but yeah. But Wild Turkey is what got me through, covid man.
Matt Fox: 4:49
Yes, it was, I remember vividly.
August Gitschlag: 4:53
Yes, I put the bottle proudly on display.
Matt Fox: 4:55
Vividly Still, it's like ingrained into the center cortex of my brain.
August Gitschlag: 5:00
No, no, no, no no, I kept the part of the liquor stores going it was the brand I had my own Rick House, I think.
Spencer Burke: 5:06
That was a truly odd. It kept me clean from the inside out the alcohol content.
August Gitschlag: 5:11
It had nothing else to do. I lived a block from my office so I had to go to work, no choice, remotely. You?
Jamie Flanagan: 5:20
were selling Hamtramck at the time right.
August Gitschlag: 5:22
I was a block away from City Hall. I just go to City Hall by myself, have the office to myself. I watched the whole Daredevil Netflix series. I still had to send out business licenses and stuff. I was.
Jennifer Burke: 5:32
Hamtramck City. Clerk at the time had to get the day-to-days done. You were the only one in the building.
August Gitschlag: 5:38
No, the police were in the building and they played a lot of video games, Remember that. And the city manager would come in once in a while and just wave from across. You know, wave and then go back upstairs.
Matt Fox: 5:48
Hey, Todd, I got the new high score.
August Gitschlag: 5:50
Something like that.
Jennifer Burke: 5:52
I mean, we were homeschooling, so we drank a lot. Oh my God. I don't think I was homeschooling.
Matt Fox: 5:57
Wild Turkey and.
August Gitschlag: 5:58
Sobieski Vodka by the half gallon got me through.
Spencer Burke: 6:02
I'm glad gallon got me through. Speaking of the COVID, that's pretty funny. You see all the houses that people homeschooled. You go to the recycle in front of the house as they're going through the neighborhood. You walk through. You can see more empty liquor bottles Because you can tell the houses that had the kids and they had to homeschool. There were a lot more alcohol bottles in the recycle bin.
Jennifer Burke: 6:20
A lot of bourbon barrel beer 14%.
Spencer Burke: 6:23
Yeah.
August Gitschlag: 6:23
I went through a lot of Kunin's beer.
Matt Fox: 6:25
I'm very happy that my daughters were no longer in the house and in school to be homeschooled by me, because I am by no shape of the imagination able to homeschool a child? I wasn't either I am not able Certified smart enough. New math.
Spencer Burke: 6:42
No, we became certified after that.
Jennifer Burke: 6:44
Certifiable, certifiable. I was so happy when they went back for those half days at first.
August Gitschlag: 6:49
The other bottle of booze that I think kind of caught on was the Old Forrester 100-proof rye. Yeah, that they were selling at Kroger during COVID for $29.99. And my dad's like I'm getting my bang for my buck. And then suddenly Old Forrester Rye started flying off shelves. So that's another one I distinctly remember. I didn't know this was going to be a COVID retrospective episode.
Jamie Flanagan: 7:11
Right.
Matt Fox: 7:14
It's how the wild turkey started going through my veins.
Jamie Flanagan: 7:17
Speaking of so we have two. We have two different models, so so.
August Gitschlag: 7:22
We don't have the regular one, and that's fine. Okay, we don't have the regular one, and that's fine. Okay, this is the 101 and the 101 8, not to be confused with the 70th anniversary which came out last year. I did manage to get a bottle, sort of an, on accident, and it was delicious yeah that was more hand-picked, more flavor selected. So the difference between these two right wild turkey 101 is a blend of six to eight and wild turkey 101 8 is a minimum eight so the 101 8.
Jamie Flanagan: 7:52
Is this a limited run or it is no?
August Gitschlag: 7:54
longer a limited run. They've been selling this in asia since 1992, oh okay they just started bringing it here.
Jamie Flanagan: 8:00
The sons of guns, I know, right, right so I guess it's.
August Gitschlag: 8:04
I suspect it's more comparable to the long branch which they were selling an eight year here for a while, but it was just mcconaughey's little celebrity brand but there was. There was a different flavor to the long branch it had that pecan right I'm trying to remember when I had it last. Did we do a long branch here? Did we do? No, we did stapleton's garbage.
Jamie Flanagan: 8:21
Yeah, I went through probably four, four bottles of the long branch. I enjoyed it. I really, really enjoyed it and the first time I bought it I did not know mcconaughey was attached to it.
August Gitschlag: 8:32
I don't, I don't, didn't stick out it is considered uh, when you go through like the, the, the judgment of the celebrity boo-boos, or whatever, it's considered one of the top five as far as like quality, like, like they didn't really need his name and the, the juice was that good. Yeah, um, but I will.
Jamie Flanagan: 8:48
He'd take it, of course, so yeah, yeah, it's because I was talking when I, when I was picking this up and and I was telling joe, I was like, yeah, you know, I was thinking of like having another turkey product to do a three-way compare. And I go, I go the the long branch I really love the long branch or maybe have it for a welcome cocktail. And and he's like he goes, no, he goes, keep it simple. He goes, do the two, just the apples and apples and apples, keep it simple.
Jamie Flanagan: 9:15
No, I agree Good call, he talked me out of a bottle. Well, I do. When does a party sir owner ever talk you out of a bottle?
August Gitschlag: 9:21
When I well, I got the 101-8 I picked up from our buddy Big Tony over at the wine garden and I asked him about the 70. He goes, I had four bottles of it. It went like that. In a day it was like it was gone. And then I looked at the Rare Breed, which is also a series that Wild Turkey makes that I absolutely enjoy, yes, and the bourbon was like $44 and the rye was like in the seventies on the shelf. I'm like whoa and I would get that painted lady. In Hampshire I was the only bar I knew that had the the rare beat, rare breed rye. Yeah, and I would get a rare breed rye, old fashioned. Of course. I paid August prices for it, so it was worthwhile and then I drank it. There's no, there's no bottle to replace it. Had I known it was the only one, I might have been.
Jamie Flanagan: 10:05
You know, I said, hide that down there and I'm gonna like you know, but uh, but yeah, and I'm looking forward to eventually when they have rare breed rye on the shelf here now, yeah, I give it as gifts.
August Gitschlag: 10:15
I think it's that good. It's like uh, my buddies and I'll have bets on uh you know, chelsea versus tottenham soccer matches, and we do it over a bottle of rare breed rye. That way no one really loses.
Jennifer Burke: 10:24
Our birthdays are in August.
August Gitschlag: 10:26
Oh, okay, good to know.
Jamie Flanagan: 10:29
So, Jennifer, are you familiar with the turkey? You like bourbon. You're one of the ladies that like bourbon. All right, we do, ladies night here.
August Gitschlag: 10:39
I want to grab us some additional cups so we can side-by-side, if you wanted to. Oh, all right, I was going to do side-by-side All right.
Jamie Flanagan: 10:44
Good call so yeah, we've had some our friends on bourbons and blondes and talk bourbon to me.
August Gitschlag: 10:55
You seem to always find them, Jamie. The bourbon ladies. They're drawn to you.
Jennifer Burke: 10:59
They are, but yeah, A lot of times you don't think oh the so, but yeah so it's but a lot of times you don't think?
Jamie Flanagan: 11:06
oh, the lady's drinking the bourbon.
Jennifer Burke: 11:07
But you like. You like the bourbons. I love the bourbon. My favorite is Noah's Mill by Willett. All right, Hands down.
August Gitschlag: 11:12
Wow, we just did that, didn't? We Was it Noah's Mill, and I think I talked shit about it. There's Rowan's Creek and Noah's Mill. Yeah, noah's Mill it too, I'm sorry. Thanks for the chocolate when you come over.
Jamie Flanagan: 11:25
There'll be plenty at my house.
Jennifer Burke: 11:27
I don't know why it's my favorite.
Matt Fox: 11:29
August won't drink.
Spencer Burke: 11:30
Where are you on the Noah's Mill? I didn't like Rowan's Creek as much.
Jamie Flanagan: 11:34
We haven't done one. Because it became available will it, things be changed.
August Gitschlag: 11:41
Yeah, the pot still is in every bar, behind every bar in the Metropolis right now.
Jamie Flanagan: 11:44
Yeah, the pot still is in every bar back up behind every bar in metropolis right now has the pot still because it's a great bottle to have, you know, just at least for the looks the looks right, yeah, and so I picked up, uh, the will it rye, and we did, we tried that, and then we did the. But I picked up a noah's mill too, and we tried that, and we really enjoyed the will it rye, the will it ride really like I don't know the noah just didn't do it. For me Is it too spicy.
August Gitschlag: 12:03
Hey, everybody's mouth is different.
Jamie Flanagan: 12:05
I don't know that is true. I'll have to revisit it. I like the spice.
August Gitschlag: 12:07
There's only one person here that knows your mouth besides you, or it depends on what you had in your mouth and it's not Jamie or Madder Eye. That is as well, it also depends on what you had in your mouth before you tasted it too have this chocolate here and I'm afraid to eat it until after I've tried the drinks, the stuff once. Try it first.
Jamie Flanagan: 12:26
And then we might play with the chocolate it was a pecan cluster too, this would be the rare brew. You did with the long branch, with the pecan.
August Gitschlag: 12:32
I'm not big for nuts in my mouth, but I do love these Saunders sea salt and chocolate Only when they're chocolate covered.
Spencer Burke: 12:43
What else did we know?
Jamie Flanagan: 12:45
What else did we know? What else do we know about these wild turkeys? Because they're 101, so it's 101 proof both of them. But what else? You guys were finding some things out about the char.
August Gitschlag: 12:53
Spencer was all about the char research.
Spencer Burke: 12:54
They're both char 4, actually. Okay, One of them actually labeled it as deepest char and then one actually listed it as char 4, but you looked it up, they're both char 4. All right, it says it's actually a high rye content.
Jamie Flanagan: 13:09
But we don't have the actual match. We did have the match.
Spencer Burke: 13:12
Bill 75% corn 13% rye and 12% malted barley. Okay yeah, 13 rye and no wheat in there.
Matt Fox: 13:19
No, wheat All right, thank you, okay, it's gluten-free.
August Gitschlag: 13:23
Well, gluten is not necessarily wheat. Gluten's a protein. I got this lecture from my good buddy, mr Coonan the difference between gluten and wheat. It's not the same thing.
Spencer Burke: 13:34
I did have a final aspect on here that Jamie will love.
Jamie Flanagan: 13:38
Oh yes.
Spencer Burke: 13:38
That the barrel. It is a number four char, but it is charred in an American oak barrel, not just any barrel but is a new american oak barrel but, but but to the discussion we had previous times ago that it could be in any new oak barrel, but jamie loves the american barrel, so this is right up his alley as an american oak barrel I could have have swore that the bourbon template the rules of bourbon, the rules of engagement called for American, but apparently any. The rules of engagement have changed.
August Gitschlag: 14:16
I deal with a lot of French oak in the wine hobby. It's always French oak, it's charred, you get the ground up sawdust and you throw it in there and filter it out. You know so you don't. I don't know of any who's making bourbon that's not is in the sin, like oh, it's in canadian oak or it's in, you know, mexican oak, charter charter oaks did that buffalo trace uh series that had that.
Spencer Burke: 14:40
They did a mongolian, french, uh canadian and they're supposed to be doing.
August Gitschlag: 14:44
Mongolian, French, Canadian. That's a heck of a gene pool.
Spencer Burke: 14:47
It was three different series, okay. So one was the French oak, one was the Mongolian oak, one was Canadian oak, and they were supposedly going to go to the US and do one from every state, and I'm not sure where they're at right now, but you couldn't get that here.
Jamie Flanagan: 14:59
All right, I did read that Now should we apples, apples and have them all in the I am pouring the regular one now in our finest plastic cups. Well, I was going to put the eight year in the Glencairn.
August Gitschlag: 15:13
Yeah, absolutely, it costs 10 bucks more. God damn, it's better.
Jamie Flanagan: 15:17
It's special, you had something in there.
August Gitschlag: 15:19
Now, in all fairness, we did kind of cheat and open this bottle while we were doing a podcast a couple weeks ago I saw it was a little lower than normal.
Jennifer Burke: 15:25
That was him and I.
August Gitschlag: 15:27
Oh, that's right, there's five of us now.
Jennifer Burke: 15:29
How dare you forget about the curly girl over here?
August Gitschlag: 15:32
No, we're going to buy yours. The opposite of the curly girl, the bald guy.
Jennifer Burke: 15:38
I was waiting for that. The door was open.
Jamie Flanagan: 15:41
I was going to shut it. That was a good one.
Matt Fox: 15:44
Yeah, I'll take that. Is that the dump cup?
Jamie Flanagan: 15:47
That was fresh, your thing was fresh. A dunk a dump cup, but not that was for cleaning out. I figured we would clean out the grandparents. Alright, we go side by side, yeah.
August Gitschlag: 15:58
Oh good, pop, I wasn't here for the last one. We were talking to the game, the drinking game.
Matt Fox: 16:06
Yes.
August Gitschlag: 16:06
And you and I were sipping on them. I can't just stare at this bottle I brought here all day. We got to open this sucker. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and we're doing the drink.
Jamie Flanagan: 16:12
Oh, we played the Murder Mystery. The Murder Mystery drinking game, yes. The Murder on the Rocks, yes, which I think the actual last show. You guys both stiffed me.
August Gitschlag: 16:26
That's not my usual. Wow, you're definitely not using a jigger for your proportions on that, mrs Vino. She likes bourbon, the smallest person the largest pour Right.
Jamie Flanagan: 16:37
Yeah, I know right, all right. But yeah, mrs Vino and I, we were talking to the Longcaro.
Jennifer Burke: 16:42
Long Drink folks.
Jamie Flanagan: 16:43
Whoa Savino and I, we were talking to the Longcaro Long Drink folks. Nice vodka drinks.
Jennifer Burke: 16:45
They were yummy.
Jamie Flanagan: 16:48
It was good.
August Gitschlag: 16:49
This better be good.
Jamie Flanagan: 16:52
The colors are pretty similar. I'm going to agree with you there the colors are pretty similar.
Spencer Burke: 16:58
Like I said, one's plastic and glass, but still One's 8 plus.
August Gitschlag: 17:03
It shouldn't be that far off. It's not like a 12-year which will have a darker color to it. Same mash bill. It's a blend and they blend it to yeah Alright, so I'm going to go home to the 101.
Matt Fox: 17:17
101 is the regular one that you're always.
August Gitschlag: 17:20
No, the regular. The regular, regular one is what I usually drink the 80. That's my little houser, but this is. I like this, the 101 I usually like with a light ginger ale.
Jamie Flanagan: 17:28
There's a spicy rye in this, yep. I'm getting the tip of my tongue. You got the spices.
August Gitschlag: 17:35
Well, our bar here in the palatious studios of the Bandcamp, happy Hour here and Podcast your Voice Studios had a bottle of Wild Turkey 101 rye.
Jamie Flanagan: 17:43
Yes, Until Studios had a bottle of Wild Turkey 101 rye until I got a hold of it. I brought it in for you because I knew you enjoy good rye.
Jennifer Burke: 17:49
Did you have it in one foul swoop?
August Gitschlag: 17:51
No, I did not. It lasted about six months. I knew it was there and it was special and we kept it in the cleaning closet where we hide the good stuff behind the Lysol.
Spencer Burke: 18:02
I just gave up the secret, didn't I Not, that you can be used for COVID? You know Lysol.
August Gitschlag: 18:06
Oh yeah, that's how I got rid of COVID. Was you know, injection Lysol Put a little Windex on that.
Jamie Flanagan: 18:12
Chewing on the wipes. Put a little Windex on that, you'll be fine.
Matt Fox: 18:15
Yeah, that's good.
Jennifer Burke: 18:15
A little tussin A little tussin on it, it's just it forward.
Jamie Flanagan: 18:22
Did you go to the? Oh, you haven't done the 8 yet.
Matt Fox: 18:25
No, I haven't done the 8 yet. I'm still enjoying the first one. I went to the 8.
Jamie Flanagan: 18:32
I'm still trying to get, because a lot of times when you, the second, I got a full pint of the 8 here to drink.
Spencer Burke: 18:42
I'm Jordy. Yeah, the 8 actually, once you get it.
Jennifer Burke: 18:44
I got that joke, you definitely get more caramel vanilla.
Spencer Burke: 18:48
On the eight year I haven't tried the eight year yet Not to inject any thoughts in anybody's heads.
Jennifer Burke: 18:55
Yeah, thanks Thanks.
August Gitschlag: 18:58
The power of persuasion compels you the power of persuasion compels you. I'm going to tell you it's an easier sip.
Spencer Burke: 19:05
The eight's a much easier sip, the 101 is spicier.
August Gitschlag: 19:08
Absolutely, no doubt. There's definitely a difference between these two bottles. There really is man. I love wild turkey Gobble gobble.
Jennifer Burke: 19:21
Gobble, gobble. I don't want the Thanksgiving weather, I'll take the turkey I love Thanksgiving weather.
August Gitschlag: 19:26
We were just talking the other day. The Tigers are up, I think, 2-0,. By the way, I can't wait to go to a Tigers game in September with a hoodie, shorts and a hoodie. Can't wait.
Jennifer Burke: 19:35
Let me have my summer. First I need my heat.
Spencer Burke: 19:38
But this is actually something pretty interesting when you look at things. When you talk about bourbon, they're all 101 right here. They're both 101, but they taste very different for being 101. Six to eight and eight, plus that difference right there, whatever it is, but one's a lot smoother, the other one's spicier for the 101. It actually tastes more of the 101. The eight-year doesn't taste 101.
August Gitschlag: 19:57
It actually tastes we are all men of a certain age. She's considerably younger than us, so I can say that Anything 101 20 years ago we didn't touch, you didn't touch 101 stuff 20 years ago that was considered brake cleaner, battery acid, and now it's like oh, oh, those easy 101s.
Jamie Flanagan: 20:17
Yeah, people are drinking.
August Gitschlag: 20:18
This one's sneaking up on you. Yeah, they're doing barrel proofs.
Matt Fox: 20:21
It was Mad Dog 2020, and you're like whoa, that's crazy.
Spencer Burke: 20:26
What do we have at home? 123, 131. And it's not even any bit spicy than this.
August Gitschlag: 20:32
Well, I told the blending story over at Kunin's with you guys, right how I went over to the tasting of the. They had been aging it since 2023, I think oh wow. In an old Eisbach barrel and they pulled it out and we all did a shot of it. And then we're like, oh my God, the enamel's coming off my teeth and they float. It was me and Brad Teagan and Brett Koonin. They floated a little meter in there. It was at 161 or something like that.
August Gitschlag: 20:59
I'm like, god damn it, he, god damn it. He's like, should I water this down? I'm like went and got a bunch of distilled water and we got it down to about 130 and it was okay. I didn't need these reading glasses before.
Jennifer Burke: 21:10
I drank that 161.
August Gitschlag: 21:12
Now my eyesight's gone, so I blame the Kuhnen brothers Melting your organs from the inside. The inside man.
Matt Fox: 21:20
Both of these are actually very easy to drink, even though they're 101 mild.
Jennifer Burke: 21:25
Yeah, they're not even though the 101.
Matt Fox: 21:27
A lot of folks will poo poo because it's not 80 and it's. They consider that an easy drinker.
Spencer Burke: 21:32
This is really easy to sip on but do you tell the difference in the two? I do, what's your, what's your difference, what do you take?
Matt Fox: 21:38
uh, the warmth, the warmth on the 101, the regular on the regular 101 right, yeah, you're right, there was more warmth, kentucky hug yeah yeah, it's a nice way of putting it I like it, I like it um, but on the it was a little I hate. We all hate the word smooth around here.
Jamie Flanagan: 21:53
Just gonna say it we don't use the word smooth well, because we do use it, but we feel it's over you sometimes. It's just the right word.
Matt Fox: 22:00
Sometimes it is but for the one.
August Gitschlag: 22:02
We don't use the word moist or panty or pantry. Or finger bang or anything like that. Damn it, you got it before me, slacks.
Jamie Flanagan: 22:09
What about slacks or husky?
Matt Fox: 22:13
But the 101.8, that actually. It actually goes down nicer, you know, on the back. The S word that we don't say but on the back, the S word that we don't say but on the back of the palate.
August Gitschlag: 22:22
It just sits so nice, I can tell you if a 101 old-fashioned, with a little bit of bitters and the orange, I think that's just the right amount of spice.
Spencer Burke: 22:32
Now, we're going to want that next. I think you need to make us one.
August Gitschlag: 22:36
Well, I don't have any orange slices.
Jennifer Burke: 22:39
There's orange August. Now you're done, man.
August Gitschlag: 22:43
I don't have any excuses. Okay, but the eight-year that Foxy so graciously poured all of it out of is.
Jennifer Burke: 22:53
There's five here. He gave us a. I mean, look what's left.
August Gitschlag: 22:54
We're basically going to have a half pint each, I gave a generous pour.
Matt Fox: 22:58
We'll just say that he had a long day at work.
August Gitschlag: 22:59
Bring the jigger back. These DJs can't pour.
Matt Fox: 23:03
You ever heard us DJ? Yeah, you know what shoes you barely get by on that. Do you know what shoes in a dryer sound like?
August Gitschlag: 23:13
I've never heard that before. That's funny. That's funny. I've never heard that before.
Matt Fox: 23:17
That's a Jamie classic right there More like a zipper like the metal end of the.
August Gitschlag: 23:26
They only heard zippers in their younger DJ days when they put on one of those long songs like Sugar Hill Gang Charles.
Matt Fox: 23:31
I have something to show you Zip.
August Gitschlag: 23:34
What song do you want to hear? Zip? I'm giving them way too much credit.
Matt Fox: 23:41
Not enough actually For the Lipsticks DJ booth. Oh my gosh, I'm giving them way too much credit not enough actually for the lipsticks DJ booth.
August Gitschlag: 23:45
Oh my gosh, lipsticks deep in the tongue.
Jamie Flanagan: 23:47
The 101 regular. It was on my tip of my tongue and the spice and the 101.8 is like in the middle, it hits in the middle of the side of the tongue is where that was hitting. Not as spicy there's a little bit of the spice in there, but it's the flavors hitting in the middle of the tongue. It's where that was hidden. Not as spicy there's a little bit of the spice in there, but the flavor is hidden in the middle of the tongue instead of the tip.
August Gitschlag: 24:09
Now the word is they're going to keep making this with an age statement. It's no longer just available in China and Japan and at duty-free stores and Mongolia.
Spencer Burke: 24:19
They'll probably have it in China, but then they'll have a different variant of it.
Matt Fox: 24:28
That tariff's gonna kill it.
Spencer Burke: 24:29
But wait there's more, because it's gonna sit on the boat for how long?
August Gitschlag: 24:31
we don't know an age and age is gonna be longer.
Matt Fox: 24:32
It could be like wild turkey ocean wild turkey ocean just like jefferson sloshing around it makes it better, but it's gonna sit in the bottle so it doesn't count yeah, okay, what's your take on these two?
Jennifer Burke: 24:43
Honestly, I agree with what they were all saying.
Jamie Flanagan: 24:45
The last caller stole my thunder.
Jennifer Burke: 24:47
Back for some or for the other.
Spencer Burke: 24:51
Last caller stole my thunder.
Jamie Flanagan: 24:53
Too much talk radio. That's a big.
August Gitschlag: 24:57
Hey, Jamie, I have faith you can still hit the post, though, buddy, oh yeah. From 10 yards out, yes, hey, jamie, I have faith. I have faith. You can still hit the post, though, buddy, oh yeah.
Matt Fox: 25:03
From from 10 yards out.
August Gitschlag: 25:04
Yes, yes.
Jennifer Burke: 25:05
Ten yards out.
Matt Fox: 25:07
Good, good stuff, oh man. So the one on one eight, why? I'm just curious, why the one on one eight against the regular?
August Gitschlag: 25:18
Well, the regular one on one.
Spencer Burke: 25:20
One on one. One on one. Well, the regular 101.
Matt Fox: 25:23
The regular 101. Yeah. I want to know if my $17 is worth it. Okay, the extra $17? Yeah.
August Gitschlag: 25:28
Which is I'm giving you a guesstimate. I know that you know. Would you say you paid for it $30? Yeah, yeah, and it's at least like $48. It's under $50 for the $8. But then again, I bought it at a place that's not known for its state minimums.
Matt Fox: 25:41
This is a tasty treat August.
Jennifer Burke: 25:45
It is, and I'm not sure I've ever had wild turkey. Not going to lie, have I?
August Gitschlag: 25:47
Spencer. Visit the OG. Visit the OG, it's just something to try, it's not something that we regularly have.
Jennifer Burke: 25:52
You've had the regular one-on-one Okay, it's not something we regularly have.
Spencer Burke: 25:57
I don't think that's enough credit. What I said before is the 8 has a little bit more caramel to it. It's a little thicker, syrupy, yeah syrupy, it sits on your tongue, more You're able to actually feel how the flavors sit there, longer it doesn't dissipate as quick. Like a creaminess almost. Yeah, the creamy vanilla caramel.
August Gitschlag: 26:17
Vanilla cake frosting was written in one of the reviews there you go. And I didn't want to say it out loud until someone caught it, but vanilla cake frosting was one of the phrases. It was close to what I was saying.
Spencer Burke: 26:27
Yeah. The other one is spicier, like you said. I mean, you can negatively call spicy heat.
August Gitschlag: 26:36
You know Some people look for that. That's what they want. That's why they grab the 101 instead of the 80. They want that bite.
Spencer Burke: 26:45
In the winter, the regular 101 would be great, we don't talk about winter yet you get a little warmth, yeah, and also in the summertime.
August Gitschlag: 26:52
You just mix it with a light, personally a light ginger ale, Like a Canada Dry Light with a lime.
Spencer Burke: 26:57
No, I like the old-fashioned better.
Jennifer Burke: 26:59
The old-fashioned better.
August Gitschlag: 27:00
I've never mixed anything else, yeah well, you consume your, your booze any way that you enjoy it I like it, and that's the rule as long as you enjoy it. I have a friend and we will eventually go to his man cave and uh, he and he. His favorite drink to make is bourbon and lemonade oh, okay all right, it's a southern thing, that is good it's interesting. I I because I'm we think about mixing lemonade, you think gin, or you think vodka, you think a clear spirit?
Jennifer Burke: 27:25
How does the tartness of lemonade work with it?
August Gitschlag: 27:28
It was goddamn delicious. But also he was using I can't tell you what he was using I don't know what kind of bourbon. No, no, no, it was no Southern Comfort. That's the thing.
Jamie Flanagan: 27:46
I can buy that for a mixer. Better cocktails you complimented I took a nice picture of. A cocktail that Colleen and I had at lunch Was it Zim.
August Gitschlag: 27:56
That's just Jamie's way of saying. He's been drinking since noon.
Jamie Flanagan: 27:59
I've been drinking since noon, that's why I had a comment on it. It was a pomegranate vodka drink and it was Zim's Vodka. We were at Shields Pizza, of all places, and they had Zim's Vodka on the shelf.
August Gitschlag: 28:13
One of the legendary Detroit pizza chains up there with buddies.
Jamie Flanagan: 28:17
But they have Zim's on the shelf. Zim's is one of your higher end. You know what that?
Matt Fox: 28:21
means you know what that means that Bruce and Terry work their asses off to put their vodka Zim's on the shelves of every single establishment.
Jamie Flanagan: 28:29
That'll carry it yes.
August Gitschlag: 28:32
You too and your Zim's Choking on the microphone.
Matt Fox: 28:36
They work their asses off.
August Gitschlag: 28:38
They do. I've never been here for a Zimz episode so when you guys talk about it, all the time I'm like can you deep throat the microphone some more. I don't know anything about Zimz, so I'm going to have to you obviously never listen to the man Cave Happy Hour then, because they talk about it every day.
Spencer Burke: 28:52
No, I've never, had Zimz.
Jamie Flanagan: 28:54
I said Heard of it. I're riding that pony too.
August Gitschlag: 29:04
Honestly, there's nothing wrong with either one of them. They're goddamn delicious. I just gotta be the guy.
Jamie Flanagan: 29:08
Mickey Lyons did.
Matt Fox: 29:16
She didn't like something. The.
Jamie Flanagan: 29:17
Highclere.
Spencer Burke: 29:17
Yeah, the.
Jamie Flanagan: 29:17
Highclere.
Matt Fox: 29:17
She didn't like the Highclere you weren't here for.
Jamie Flanagan: 29:20
Mickey. Yes, I I was surprised and I didn't.
August Gitschlag: 29:23
I didn't argue it, it's one of my favorite podcasts, clips and I know this is a little bit off topic, but Rich Eisen does or they have a higher register take. And they'll like say I think they should trade him or something like that. And they they have to call it that, what's your higher register take? And it's like, just, I think it's pretty funny that they do that. They noticed they were doing it on accident and so they called it oh, it's a higher register take, you don't say you really mean that Should be.
August Gitschlag: 29:51
And my friend group it's our version of that is going.
Matt Fox: 29:53
Well.
August Gitschlag: 29:56
Maybe it is true. Yeah, the High Castle is delightful and the Zim's limited exposure I've had to it.
Spencer Burke: 30:04
I enjoyed it. I'm going to try some caramel with the caramel. Oh, you're right, we have this pecan Saunders here Small batch.
Jamie Flanagan: 30:13
Small batch To clarify the prices. The Michigan State minimum for the 8 is $44.99.
August Gitschlag: 30:21
Okay, I want to say I paid like $48 for it, $44.99. I paid under $50. I know it was under $50.
Jamie Flanagan: 30:25
And then the 101, the regular 101 is $26.99.
August Gitschlag: 30:30
That is a great $27 bottle.
Jamie Flanagan: 30:32
That is a great deal.
Jennifer Burke: 30:33
Yeah, that's a great deal.
August Gitschlag: 30:34
And that's going to be like I said it's going to be. It's a delightful old-fashioned spice Because the orange and the simple syrup. It will take just enough of that spice, but it'll carry through.
Jennifer Burke: 30:45
Now you keep talking about it. We need more.
Spencer Burke: 30:48
Jamie, where again did you buy the 101?
Jamie Flanagan: 30:50
regular At Keiko's.
Spencer Burke: 30:54
Right around the corner.
Jamie Flanagan: 30:55
I was at the wine garden for my eight. I don't remember. We had the eight on the shelf Big.
August Gitschlag: 31:00
Tony talking about all his challenges with getting his little speakeasy open as a public. I don't know if we have the 8 on the shelf. Big Tony talking about all his challenges With getting his little speakeasy open as a public official. He likes to tell me all about it.
Jamie Flanagan: 31:09
But yeah, we'll be doing a show from the speakeasy at the.
August Gitschlag: 31:14
Wine Garden. You told me we're the first ones. I can't wait to have you guys here.
Spencer Burke: 31:19
Now taste the 8.
August Gitschlag: 31:22
I was expecting like a giant pecan in the middle of this like a cherry pit. It's all very good, that's very good.
Matt Fox: 31:30
Now taste the bourbon right after that. Oh man.
August Gitschlag: 31:34
I do bourbon and chocolate and wine, so that bourbon dude, have you had the eight versus the regular 101?
Jamie Flanagan: 31:40
Do you have a take. Anastasio and Dennis also said hi too, we're neglecting the social medias.
Matt Fox: 31:48
The bourbon dude said good afternoon.
Jamie Flanagan: 31:50
Hold that man.
August Gitschlag: 31:52
He just said that oh, did you. I'm sorry my bad, it's okay.
Jennifer Burke: 31:57
I'm so into the chocolate with the bourbon I am so enjoying the Sanders Saunders Is the Sanders Saunders. Is it Sanders or Saunders?
August Gitschlag: 32:05
Saunders.
Spencer Burke: 32:06
I think we're up in.
Jennifer Burke: 32:07
Michigan.
August Gitschlag: 32:09
You're forgiven. He has no excuse for calling us Saunders. I say Saunders, it's Saunders. I grew up down there in the hood, it's spelled S-A-N-D-E-R-S.
Jennifer Burke: 32:19
It's Saunders.
Matt Fox: 32:21
So there's not a tick over the A.
August Gitschlag: 32:23
There's no whatever that is Packing the gun.
Jamie Flanagan: 32:27
If you grew up in Detroit.
Spencer Burke: 32:28
It's when you take a bite of the chocolate and you actually lived in the city.
August Gitschlag: 32:31
You know all about Saunders Bumpy Cake.
Jamie Flanagan: 32:35
Not Detroit.
Jennifer Burke: 32:35
Light. Where did you grow up, Jamie?
Jamie Flanagan: 32:38
Seven and Van Dyke.
Jennifer Burke: 32:39
Again, I'm not from here, so it's Seven and Meringue.
August Gitschlag: 32:43
Seven and Meringue pal, I got the fucking chops too.
Jamie Flanagan: 32:46
Oh, what was that?
Spencer Burke: 32:47

Jamie Flanagan: 32:50
It was actually they called it, the Polish Gross Point.
August Gitschlag: 32:52
It was close to Gradia. Well, you were at Poulton, almost Poulton, no not even close. You were close Seven and Van Dyke, yeah, it 7 and Van.
Matt Fox: 33:02
Dyke, it's right there by Full Towns 94 went through it, you're right.
August Gitschlag: 33:09

Matt Fox: 33:11
Cake for me, it was always Sanders for me.
Spencer Burke: 33:17
Sanders. I've heard both. I've heard both, but more people have heard Sanders.
Jamie Flanagan: 33:22
But also I've never corrected anybody. Hang on, hang on A little waxy, because you're. Where were you born? You're a California girl, right, I was born in Manhattan but raised in Los Angeles. Oh shit, she's covered both Hashtag, not the Midwest.

August Gitschlag: 34:02
I say crayons. I got the big box of crayons. They're crayons, crayons.
Jamie Flanagan: 34:06
In the Midwest we shorten everything down, we crunch it all in, we jam it together. There's only one regional diction that actually bothers me and we put S's on it.
Spencer Burke: 34:15
I never heard of that with the crayons.
Jennifer Burke: 34:16

It's the fucking Long Island H. It's the Howard Stern. Tony Kornheiser. I'm from Long Island, I'm going to Houston. You got a sense of humor? No, there's an H in there. It's a letter. It has a sound.
Spencer Burke: 35:02
No, you don't categorize all of Long Island with the H. It's the western part of Long Island, not the eastern part. You go to Long Island, you don't? Well?
August Gitschlag: 35:10
one of the most famous voices in the country in Howard Stern, doesn't pronounce H's and it drives me nuts.

Jamie Flanagan: 36:20
But on the second sip I got. I got some of the char, Some of it, I got the oaky char and I don't know. I guess we're bouncing between the two I've been trying to rinse with water.

August Gitschlag: 37:58
Well, we need a third product here.
Jamie Flanagan: 38:01
I would marry both of them.
August Gitschlag: 38:03
They're distinctly wonderful in their own way.

Jamie Flanagan: 38:15
And third for Gotta have that practice wife.
Matt Fox: 38:16
Man Children Practice wife. But I like your call on the regular 101.
Jennifer Burke: 38:21
As I said that in my mouth at that time, Wait, what was in your mouth? Drinking while they talked about practice wife, oh, okay.
August Gitschlag: 38:35
So, yeah, you like the call about the old-fashioned and the the heavier flavor of the 101 being yeah, yeah, I think the eight is definitely a sipper.
Jennifer Burke: 38:38
It's made to be it's made to be a sipper, correct? So that to me is heavier.
Spencer Burke: 38:42
Yeah, so it's more of the with the with what they, what he commented about the oak and then the spice, both those calls on there for the the old-fashioned. I would get that for that price point. It'd be great bourbon. Sit there and make old fashions with it, not sit there and just look for rise or something else. But that's a great flavor for the old fashioned. I agree there's enough spice in both of these yeah but I wouldn't want to enjoy the eight more for a second. Yeah.
August Gitschlag: 39:03
I a hundred percent agree with you, Spence. That's right In my opinion.
Jennifer Burke: 39:08
Yeah, after this, whatever's left I'm taking.
Spencer Burke: 39:10
I think we're going to have to go pick up this bottle now.
Jennifer Burke: 39:13
Let's go or hold on.
Spencer Burke: 39:16
Or after August makes us an old fish.
August Gitschlag: 39:18
Right, you can get that Wild Turkey 101 at a Kroger, the regular one. That's everywhere, that's at Kroger, that's at Meijer.
Jennifer Burke: 39:26
I didn't use the S, no, s's, no S's needed.
August Gitschlag: 39:30
Meijer, you can get away with it because it is a family name, it's just a. Myers yes, because it's a family name and it's considered their store, so you're at.
Jennifer Burke: 39:37
Myers' store.
August Gitschlag: 39:39
That's the only one that we claim you can get away with is the Myers one. Ford is family.
Spencer Burke: 39:43
