Distillery Info
Each release in the Master’s Keep series has been a salute to stories in Wild Turkey's history, to other whiskies they've made, and even to other styles of spirits that Eddie Russell happen to enjoy. Master’s Keep Triumph is Eddie's tip of the cap to his son, Bruce Russell, newly appointed Associate Blender at Wild Turkey. Bruce has always had a passion for rye, and in making a Master’s Keep for his palate felt right.
This edition of Master’s Keep is a "Triumph" – at 10-years-old, it’s the oldest age-stated rye Wild Turkey have ever released. It's a magnificent expression of what rye whiskey can be. Wild Turkey laid down the casks that make up this small batch with the intention of allowing it to age longer than most – after all, that is one thing they like to do at Wild Turkey, age longer. Over the course of their lifetime, they continued to taste them, allowing the barrels to work their magic and perfect the whiskey inside.
It’s true to the quality and flavours that Wild Turkey Distilling Co. ryes are known for, but the extended maturation helped develop a palate of sweet honey and clove notes that transition to dark chocolate, dates, and spice, and a rich mocha-coffee and black pepper finish.
Triumph is an exceptional chapter in the Master’s Keep story. Like a good book, it’s intriguing, gratifying and full of depth.
