Wild Turkey Master's Keep Unforgotten Bourbon
Wild Turkey Master's Keep Unforgotten is 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 pre-prohibition Rickhouse B - the favorite rickhouse of Eddie’s father, Master Distiller Jimmy Russell.
In 2010, 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, an extra-aged variation of the harmonious blend of straight bourbon and rye whiskies.
