The Story
When we set out ten years ago to launch the Masters Keep series, we knew we had something special but I never imagined the journey it would take us on. Our first release was the most unique whiskey wed ever released, and with each expression since weve been able to share some of the rarest whiskies in our rickhouses, all while staying true to who we are as Wild Turkey. Looking back a decade later Im very proud of what weve created to date, and looking forward to whats next. Eddie Russell

Since joining the distillery, Ive watched my dad craft some incredible bourbons as part of the Masters Keep lineup, all rooted in the principles and dedication to bold flavor established by my granddad. This final release feels especially meaningful, as the first Masters Keep with my signature on the bottle and made using bourbon I helped create during some of my earliest days at the distillery. Im proud to leave my mark on this iconic collection with a bourbon that represents a meaningful chapter in my own journey, and paves the way for the road ahead. Bruce Russell
