Since it was established in 1940, the Wild Turkey brand has remained one of the most iconic names in bourbon. Helmed by the legendary father-and-son Master Distilling team of Jimmy and Eddie Russell, who have nearly 100 years of combined distilling experience, the Wild Turkey Distilling Co. has been making bourbon the same way for over 80 years. The brand’s stunning homeplace, the Wild Turkey Distillery, is located in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, atop a deep limestone shelf situated along the Kentucky River. The shelf acts as a natural filter and provides the distillery with mineral-rich water, vital to making such a high-quality whiskey as it’s iconic 101 proof bourbon.

While the Distillery is best known for its classic Wild Turkey 101 bourbon, the brand makes many more notable whiskies as well. Bourbon fans have raved about its barrel-proof Rare Breed and single barrel Kentucky Spirit, as well as its annual Master’s Keep releases, which exemplify Master Distiller Eddie Russell’s distilling prowess. The Distillery has also remained dedicated to the art of American rye production with its 101 Rye and Rare Breed Rye offerings.
