Masters Keep Triumph is an authentic celebration of Kentucky rye, crafted in the distinctive Wild Turkey way. As the oldest age-stated rye ever released from the Wild Turkey Distilling Co. at 10 years, this expression, inspired by Eddies son Bruces affinity for rye, stands as a testament to both the spirits tenacity and a sons influence on a fathers craftmanship.

Each release in the Masters Keep series has been a salute to stories in our history, to other whiskies weve made, and even to other styles of spirits that I happen to enjoy. Masters Keep Triumph is my tip of the cap to my son, Bruce Russell, newly appointed Associate Blender at Wild Turkey. Bruce has always had a passion for rye, and in making a Masters Keep for his palate, it only felt right.

This edition of Masters Keep is a Triumph at 10-years-old, its the oldest age-stated rye weve ever released at the Wild Turkey Distilling Co. For me, its a magnificent expression of what rye whiskey can be. We laid down the casks that make up this small batch with the intention of allowing it to age longer than most after all, that is one thing we like to do here at Wild Turkey, age longer. Over the course of their lifetime, we continued to taste them, allowing the barrels to work their magic and perfect the whiskey inside.

Its true to the quality and flavors that our Wild Turkey Distilling Co. ryes are known for, but the extended maturation helped develop a palate of sweet honey and clove notes that transition to dark chocolate, dates, and spice, and a rich mocha-coffee and black pepper finish.

Triumph is an exceptional chapter in our Masters Keep story. Like a good book, its intriguing, gratifying and full of depth. We think its one youll want to keep coming back to.
