Wild Turkey's master distiller's harmonious mingling of liquid results in an extraordinarily enjoyable whiskey with the finesse and deep character of older bourbon, anchored by the bold, balanced and vibrant backbone of younger bourbon.

Following the success of Master's Keep 17 Year, is this yet another limited edition release from the father-and-son master distilling duo, Jimmy and Eddie Russell. With Eddie's promotion in 2015 to work alongside his father, the two have a combined 90 plus years of experience in the bourbon industry. In time for Eddie’s 35th anniversary at Wild Turkey, this second edition of Master's Keep bourbon was drawn from a batch of 10 to 20 year old barrels out of the middle and upper floors of the McBrayer Rickhouse, which is located at a lower elevation on the property. Master's Keep Decades is bottled at 52% ABV.

Distillery Information

In 1891, Thomas Ripy built the Old Hickory Distillery in Tyrone, Kentucky, near Lawrenceburg, on the former site of the Old Moore Distillery. After Prohibition, the Ripy family (Thomas had died in 1902) repaired the distillery and began to again produce bourbon. The Ripys sold the bourbon produced at this distillery to various wholesalers who bottled bourbon under their own brands. Austin Nichols was one of these wholesalers.

The "Wild Turkey" brand is said to have arisen after an Austin Nichols executive, Thomas McCarthy, took some warehouse samples on a wild turkey hunting trip in 1940. The bourbon proved so popular among his friends they denyd to ask him for "that wild turkey bourbon." Austin Nichols began to bottle Wild Turkey in 1942.
