Wild Turkey has unveiled the final chapter in its acclaimed limited-edition Master’s Keep series: Master’s Keep Beacon. This release brings together generations of whiskey-making tradition, marking a symbolic moment for the Russell family and the distillery’s history.
Crafted by Master Distiller Eddie Russell and Associate Master Blender Bruce Russell, Master’s Keep Beacon is a carefully composed blend of 10-year-old and 16-year-old bourbons, each representing a significant milestone in Wild Turkey’s journey.
- Eddie’s 16-Year-Old Selection (2007–2008): Drawn from some of the final barrels laid down at the original Wild Turkey distillery before its 2011 expansion, honoring the site where Eddie refined his craft.
- Bruce’s 10-Year-Old Selection (2015): Among the first barrels produced after Bruce officially joined the family business, working alongside Eddie and his grandfather, Hall of Fame Master Distiller Jimmy Russell.
