Wild Turkey Collection

Wild Turkey may very well be our favorite American Whiskey distillery. We think they are often unfairly overlooked as a legacy brand when in fact, they have basically always been at the forefront of innovation in the American Whiskey space. They were the first distillery that we ever heard talk about NOT using GMO grains and in fact they have never used them in their 75 years of making whiskey. Their 101 Rye was a benchmark bottling (along with Rittenhouse and 1 or 2 others) at a time when rye whiskey was very hard to come by. Their Russell's Reserve Bourbon and Rye have long been our go to spirits at the bar to recommend to guests looking for a short but meaningful step up from the well. The make classic American Whiskies while continuing to break new ground.

Master Distiller Emeritus Jimmy Russell has been at the helm of Wild Turkey since the 1950's. His son Eddie Russell has been the head distiller for 2 decades and he created the Russell's Reserve brand of Bourbon and Rye in 1998 to honor his father's legacy at the distillery. His own son now works at the distillery as well ensuring that the Russell family legacy will continue on at Wild Turkey for the next generation.
