Wild Turkey Bourbon - Master's Keep 17-Year - 750ml

At 17 years old and hand-selected by Master Distiller Eddie Russell for its perfectly balanced flavor, Master’s Keep is the longest-aged whiskey released by Wild Turkey in the United States. This remarkable expression rests in a dual aging environment, maturing in brick and wood rickhouses that allow its character to develop slowly and evenly. The result is a remarkably refined spirit at 86.8 proof that greets the senses with a soft, inviting entry. On the palate, it starts smooth and silky, revealing a foundation of deep caramel and warm vanilla that unfold with a quiet confidence. As the whiskey opens, rich toffee and touches of dark fruit begin to emerge, complementing the initial sweetness with a structured depth that speaks to its extended aging. The mid-palate offers a subtle complexity—spice notes that are savory rather than sharp, hints of toasted oak, and a gentle complexity that keeps the drinker engaged without overwhelming the palate. The finish is long and evolving, carrying savory spiciness and more oak influence, a reminder of its time spent maturing in its rickhouse environments. Master’s Keep pairs beautifully with rich desserts, smoked cheeses, or a simple glass savored neat to appreciate its layered balance and the craftsmanship behind Wild Turkey’s longest-aged release.
