Wild Turkey 101 costs $8 more a bottle than Woodford Reserve this week. But at 50.5% against 43.2%, it's the cheaper drink: $2.80 a standard drink against $2.93. The group, per standard drink: Wild Turkey 101 — $2.80 Maker's Mark 46 — $2.85 Woodford Reserve — $2.93 Rare Breed — $3.41 Kentucky Spirit Single Barrel — $5.25 Every one lands under a pint at the pub, about $6.28 a standard drink. After the proof and the baking spice, start with the 101; after creamy vanilla and soft wheat, the 46; after leather, honey and tobacco, the Kentucky Spirit pour is the one.
