Tasting Notes
116.76 proof from the Wild Turkey distillery in Lawrenceburg. The Retired Degenerates got their name right — this is the barrel for people who've earned their opinions. Wild Turkey's house style at cask strength: orange peel, vanilla, cracked pepper, and a lingering warmth that comes from the Lawrenceburg rickhouse climate. NBC's C-series picks are chosen for distinctiveness, and C9 delivers the most classically Wild Turkey profile of the available lineup.
The Retired Degenerates barrel pick community has a reputation for selecting barrels with backbone and character. C9 at 116.76 proof doesn't disappoint — it's a faithful expression of DSP-KY-67's best qualities bottled by Nashville's most awarded blending team.

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 →
