Product description
Wild Turkey Master's Keep debuted in August 2015 with a limited edition 17-year-old bourbon. The second in the series, Decades, arrived in February 2017 and celebrated the 35th anniversary of Eddie Russell, son of legendary master distiller Jimmy Russell.
This third chapter in the Master's Keep series celebrates Jimmy Russell's 64-year career and recalls the Wild Turkey Sherry Signature edition from 2000.

The Wild Turkey bourbon formula lists 75% corn, 13% rye and 12% malted barley.
