In the U.S., Wild Turkey's flagship 101 bourbon has no age statement. In export markets, however, particularly in Japan, Wild Turkey sells age-stated 101 expressions, such as this 8-year-old.

Beautiful baking spice, brown sugar, toffee, honey and a touch of orange peel, cracked pepper, and spice.
Pleasant on the palate, moderate viscosity with a great deal of character. Maple, honey, toffee, sweet rye bread, a pinch of ginger and a whole lot of orange peel and pepper. Rich and fun, an easy sipper.
Long finish that shines a bit compared to domestic 101 (no surprise there) with a good bit of oak, caramel, nutmeg, turtle candies and a wallop of baking spice.
It's a mystery (to me) why it seems the best of WT makes it overseas in its entirety, but overall, no complaints here. It's still great bourbon, it's not prohibitively expensive to bring into the U.S., and good turkey is great whiskey. Lovely stuff.
