Distillery Info
Wild Turkey’s very own Jimmy Russell is the longest-tenured active master distiller in the world. For over 60 years, he’s preserved a tradition that dates back generations. The ultimate craftsman and true ambassador for America’s native spirit, he’s even known as the Buddha of Bourbon by some. His legendary status is no surprise, considering that he’s never wavered on quality. And while he claims he’s just "Plain old Jimmy from Kentucky," within the community of bourbon makers, he’s often called one more thing: "The Master Distiller’s Master Distiller."
For more than 60 years, legendary Master Distiller Jimmy Russell has been crafting Wild Turkey 101 the right way. With a high rye content, this iconic bourbon is perfectly aged in American White Oak barrels with the deepest char for more character.
