Wild Turkey Bourbon Master's Keep One - 750ml

Eddie’s father, the famed Master Distiller Jimmy Russell, has long been celebrated for his love of mid-aged bourbons, a preference that runs deep in the family’s craft. In tribute to his father’s refined palate, Eddie hand-selected barrels aged between 9 and 10 years, choosing those that carried the quiet wisdom of time and the subtle balance that only maturity can bring. To echo his own passion for the complex characteristics that emerge with longer aging, Eddie also chose a small batch of meticulously aged 14-year-old whiskey, and he wove these two profiles together with careful artistry. The result is a rare blend that honors both the elegance of the mid-aged bourbons and the bold sophistication of the older stock, seamlessly fused into one harmonious expression.

The magic lies in the second maturation. Eddie employs new oak barrels that are specially toasted and charred, introducing bold, aromatic notes that only fresh oak can impart. These barrels rest in one of his favorite timber rickhouses, a setting that invites constant, gentle interaction between the spirit and the wood. This approach marks a first for Master’s Keep, signaling a new chapter in the collection’s evolution. The final whiskey emerges as a masterful unity of taste and flavor, where sweet, spicy, and woody elements intertwine with delicate fruit and vanilla nuances. “One” is a true harmony that rewards patience, inviting sip after sip and lingering on the palate long after the glass is emptied. It is the kind of expression that invites reflection, conversation, and a quiet celebration of time well spent.
