Bourbon Lovers Rejoice...ITS HERE!!!
Limited Edition Wild Turkey Master’s Keep 17 Year Old Straight Bourbon
Master’s Keep is a fantastic top quality bourbon and the result of an interesting aging process. Its flavor profile is layered in complexity and requires slow sipping and attention to detail to be appreciated. Everyone should experience this bourbon with its unique upbringing over 17 years!
The oldest whiskey ever released by Wild Turkey, and the first to be released since Eddie Russell joined his father as Master Distiller earlier in 2015. Distilled in 1997, when Wild Turkey encountered a surplus of bourbon and shortage of space, Eddie decided to move the bourbon that would become Master’s Keep to a stone warehouse 200 miles away. After 17 years, Eddie believed the barrels had reached their peak flavor, and transported them back to Wild Turkey’s wooden warehouses before bottling them. Interestingly, the bourbon had fallen to 86.8 proof, the cask strength at which it was then bottled.
“Master’s Keep is the result of a lot of experimentation, patience and faith,” says Eddie Russell.
