Create a bold, high-proof bourbon-style mash with our High-Proof Kentucky Bourbon Mash Bill Kit, inspired by the strong, full-flavored profile commonly associated with Wild Turkey 101®-style whiskey.

This kit is designed for those who prefer a powerful, spice-forward bourbon character with a heavier grain presence and a richer finish. The mash bill emphasizes corn for sweetness and body, while a higher rye content delivers bold spice, pepper, and warmth. Malted barley rounds out the grain structure and supports fermentation balance and depth.

This style is known for producing a more assertive bourbon profile—full-bodied, slightly dry, and layered with spice and oak influence that holds up well during aging.

Included High Temperature Amylase and Gluco Amylase help support efficient starch conversion and consistent fermentation performance across different setups. These enzymes assist in achieving reliable results and improved sugar availability from the grain bill.

Charred American oak is included to develop traditional bourbon aging character. Over time, it contributes notes of vanilla, caramel, toasted oak, baking spice, and subtle smoke, helping transform the spirit into a rich, high-proof bourbon-style profile.

This kit is ideal for enthusiasts looking for a stronger, more traditional Kentucky bourbon character with added rye intensity and long aging potential.
