The story behind it

The maker

Wild Turkey was founded under the leadership of legendary Master Distiller Jimmy Russell, who has been crafting world-class bourbon since 1954. Alongside his son, Eddie Russell, the family duo represents over a century of collective whiskey-making experience, preserving authentic, high-rye Kentucky traditions.

How it is made

Crafted at the historic Wild Turkey Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, using a traditional mash bill rich in rye. The spirit is aged in deep No. 4 alligator char American white oak barrels to extract maximum depth and character.
