Wild Turkey was founded in 1940 after distillery executive Thomas McCarthy took some warehouse samples on a wild turkey hunting trip with friends. Decades later, legendary Master Distiller Jimmy Russell and his son Eddie continue to handcraft this classic Kentucky bourbon using traditional methods.
Crafted at the historic Lawrenceburg distillery, this expression is aged in American white oak barrels with a heavy level-four alligator char. The distillery relies on the same proprietary yeast strain and time-honored methods that have defined their liquid for generations.
