Wild Turkey was established in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, by the Ripy brothers, and gained its legendary name after a distillery executive shared some warehouse samples during a wild turkey hunting trip in 1940. Under the guidance of legendary Master Distiller Jimmy Russell and his son Eddie Russell, the distillery has maintained traditional methods for decades.
Distilled and aged in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, this whiskey employs a traditional high-rye mash bill and is aged in deeply charred American oak casks. The master distillers utilize a lower entry proof to preserve the rich, natural characteristics of the grains during maturation.
