Apparently, Wild Turkey 101 bourbon is produced with a big part of rye without being a rye whiskey. Maybe it is the perfect non-distinct sort-of-rye whiskey for this cocktail? Please comment, active persons on Difford's.

As far as I'm aware, Wild Turkey bourbon only has 13% rye in its mash bill.

Interesting. I wondered and consulted Wild Turkey's homepage for info about their 101 bourbon. It stated a high rye content. I find the blurred line between bourbons and ryes confusing. Only with Staunings Rye can I very clearly taste the rye, like in rye bread and in Old Duff Genever.
