Wild Turkey Whiskey

Wild Turkey is the bourbon that never softened up to please anyone. The heavily charred barrel aging gives it a deep reddish-brown colour and a strength that explains why the brand was named after a hunting trip where the bourbon itself came along in the picnic basket.

About Wild Turkey Whiskey

Wild Turkey was introduced in 1940 by Thomas McCarthy and is today produced by the Austin Nichols division of Campari Group at its distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. The brand is known for its extra-charred barrel aging, giving a deep, reddish-brown colour and a full-bodied, robust flavour profile, especially the award-winning Wild Turkey 101, which won double gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2014. Collectors are drawn to the older single barrel and Master's Keep releases, while newcomers meet one of the most powerful and traditional bourbon styles around.

History & Background

The name Wild Turkey reportedly originated in 1940, when an executive at what was then the Austin Nichols firm brought a bottle of unmarked bourbon on a wild turkey hunt, after which his friends kept asking for "that wild turkey whiskey". The brand remained relatively small until legendary master distiller Jimmy Russell began shaping the house style in 1954, a post he held for over 60 years, making him the industry's longest-serving master distiller. Today the legacy continues through his son Eddie Russell, and the family's combined experience has become a central part of Wild Turkey's identity as one of Kentucky's most tradition-bound bourbons.

History & background

The name reportedly comes from a 1940s hunting trip, where the distillery's management brought the whiskey along while hunting wild turkey.

Production & style

The whiskey is distilled from a classic bourbon mash and aged in new, charred oak casks, often at a higher proof than many competitors.

Signature style

Bold, Spiced, Caramel
The flavor offers a bold, spiced character with clear notes of caramel and pepper.
