Tasting Notes

Nose : Lots of vanilla with pears and nutmeg and cinnamon. There is some old leather in the background hiding behind the oak.

Taste : Corn and vanilla with pears and nutmeg. Tasted with a dried cranberry enhances the pear and the baking spices but lessens the vanilla and corn. Tasted with a pecan enhances the vanilla and corn but takes away the fruit and lessens the spice. It actually gives it a cream soda feel in the mouth.

Finish : Starts very peppery and dries out with oak. Tasted with the cranberry it loses the pepper and the spice becomes more cinnamon. The pecan makes the finish oaky and less spicy.

About Wild Turkey

Today, the Wild Turkey Distillery is located just outside Lawrenceburg, Kentucky near the banks of the Kentucky River. It’s an iconic destination on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail

In 2009, Italian spirits company Gruppo Campari acquired Wild Turkey and its distillery from Pernod Ricard. Campari continues to produce Wild Turkey bourbon at the Lawrenceburg distillery using the original recipes and techniques.

The historic distillery has undergone expansions and upgrades over the years. A new distillery opened on the grounds in 2011, while renovations in 2013 brought bourbon production back to the original distillery buildings.

Wild Turkey master distillers Jimmy and Eddie Russell continue to oversee whiskey production, as they have for decades. Jimmy Russell is the longest tenured, active master distiller in Kentucky with over 60 years of experience. His son Eddie Russell joined Wild Turkey in 1981 and became a master distiller himself in 2015.
