Wild Turkey Master's Keep Unforgotten is a high proof, extra-aged variation of the harmonious blend of straight bourbon and rye whiskies, this time finished in rye casks for a secondary aging period in the pre-prohibition Rickhouse B - the favorite rickhouse of Eddie’s father, Master Distiller Jimmy Russell.

In 2010, a crew member accidentally mixed a batch of young rye with a barrel of mature bourbon. Over a decade later, Master Distiller Eddie Russell has leveraged his years of distillation experience to craft Master’s Keep Unforgotten, an extra-aged variation of the harmonious blend of straight bourbon and rye whiskies.

The exquisite Kentucky straight bourbon looks beyond the rolling hills of the Bluegrass State and deep into the Caribbean Sea, drawing inspiration from the lush isle of Jamaica.

To honor Jimmy’s incredible impact on the bourbon world, Wild Turkey is proud to present the limited-edition Wild Turkey Jimmy Russell’s 70th Anniversary 8-Year-Old Bourbon.

This collector-worthy release is an 8-Year-Old, 101-proof bourbon, with an additional blend of 8- to 9-year-old whiskeys, hand-selected from a few of Jimmy’s favorite Rickhouses. Best enjoyed neat or over ice, this bourbon is a true tribute to Jimmy’s legacy.

Wild Turkey® Generations marks the first time Jimmy, Eddie and Bruce Russell have collaborated on a single whiskey; the result is a combination of 9-, 12-, 14- and 15-year-old bourbons, harmoniously blended to create a one-of-a-kind whiskey with layers of complexity. Wild Turkey Generations is bottled at barrel proof (120.8 proof) and non-chill filtered to reveal the utmost character in each sip, a true reflection of the Russell family's bourbon making mastery.

GENERATIONS
Wild Turkey Generations marks the first time three generations of the Russell family have collaborated on a single whiskey, blending storied past with compelling present to honor the family’s remarkable legacy. With over 100 years of combined experience between Wild Turkey Master Distillers Jimmy Russell, Eddie Russell and Associate Blender Bruce Russell, this bourbon is a blend of hand-selected barrels unique to each of their tastes.

Bruce, like his grandfather Jimmy, prefers bold bourbon flavors, which comes through in the 12-year bourbon he selected for the blend. Meanwhile, Eddie has a penchant for a softer honeyed, vanilla-laden flavor that typically comes from older bourbons, such as his 15-year-old selection, and the 14-year-old whiskey he and Bruce picked together. Jimmy stayed true to his palate, as he has for decades, by selecting a nine-year-old bourbon consistent with the classic Wild Turkey profile.
