Overview
Matured to absolute perfection in the No. 1 spot that Wild Turkey is renowned for – Level 4 of the legendary Rickhouse K on Wild Turkey Hill - and Created Exclusively for the Club, the Club gave Members a chance to own two distinctive single barrels of only 25 barrels to fulfil their high standard for worldwide release.
First laid down on Boxing Day 2021, both barrels have been specially chosen for Club Members by Master Distiller Eddie Russell, a 35+ year whiskey veteran and Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame™ member. These are serious acquisitions: non-chill-filtered and no colour added, ready to pack a punch at a full-bodied 101 Proof.
With a finish longer than Eddie’s whiskey credentials, Barrel 21-0039 will overwhelm with notes of rich toffee, chewy dried fruits, and thick sugared wood spice.
This is rare. This is remarkable. This is the epitome of American Bourbon.
