Distillery Information

Wild Turkey Distillery is located in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky and is owned by the Campari Group. Its bourbon legacy goes back well over a century. Wild Turkey is famous for its deep-charred (#4) American oak barrels ("alligator char") and a mashbill with higher rye content (approx 13-15%) to give bold spicy notes. The “81 proof” line was introduced in 2011 under Eddie Russell as a more approachable option yet still with flavor. The Veteran Artist Program Edition is part of Wild Turkey’s special limited releases, created to support veteran artists by showcasing label art by veterans and giving back through exposure. Wild Turkey is still overseen by the Russell family (Jimmy and Eddie) who emphasize consistency, craft, and maintaining their bold bourbon identity
