Tasting Notes
118.04 proof and 8 years distilled in Kentucky at DSP-KY-67. Without a community nickname, barrel C13 lets the whiskey speak for itself — and at this proof level from Wild Turkey's facility, it has a lot to say. Rich vanilla bean and caramel from the barrel aging, supported by the characteristic Wild Turkey baking spice and the soft, round mouthfeel that comes from Lawrenceburg's water and grain bill.
DSP-KY-67 uses a higher rye content in their mashbill than many Kentucky distilleries — that rye character shows up in C13 as an undercurrent of pepper and dried herbs that prevents the sweetness from becoming cloying. NBC selected this one for its structure.

About DSP-KY-67 — Wild Turkey Distillery
DSP-KY-67 is the Distilled Spirits Plant number for Wild Turkey's Lawrenceburg, Kentucky facility — operated by the Russell family since 1954. Master Distiller Jimmy Russell and his son Eddie have shaped the Wild Turkey house style over more than seven decades: a higher rye content mashbill, warehouse aging on a limestone bluff above the Kentucky River, and a philosophy of minimal intervention that lets the bourbon develop its own character.
NBC's C-series picks are individual barrels selected from DSP-KY-67's production by NBC's team — the same team that won Tennessee Blender of the Year and Best in Class at the world's largest spirits competition. These aren't licensed Wild Turkey products; they're NBC's independent selections from a distillery with a 70-year legacy.
NBC has selected 7 barrels from DSP-KY-67 — ranging from 115 to 124 proof, 8 to 9 years of age. Each barrel has its own character. See all C-Series barrels →
