Wild Turkey - Master's Keep Unforgotten Blend of Straight Bourbon and Rye Whiskey
The idea of marrying the straight bourbon and rye whiskies of Wild Turkey Distilling Co. was born in 2010 when 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, 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 per-prohibition Rickhouse B - the favorite rickhouse of Eddie's father, Master Distiller Jimmy Russell.
Aroma: Fruit forward with notes of caramel and oak.
Taste: Caramel, and sweet oak, complemented by flavors of dried fruit and honey.
