Wild Turkey bourbon, known to aficionados as "The Kickin' Chicken" due to the fact that its most common variety is 101 proof as compared to the standard 80 proof for bourbons, is marketed as a collection of premium products. Its label carries a vividly printed, seemingly engraved illustration of its namesake. In the USA, five varieties (80 proof, 101 proof, 10-year-old 101 proof, barrel proof, and 101 proof single-barrel) of the bourbon are generally available. An 8-year-old 101 proof is available in some countries, and a 12-year-old 101 proof and a 106 proof blend of different age bourbons are available through special outlets. In addition, the Wild Turkey trademark is used on a rye whiskey and a liqueur.
