Wild Turkey Masters Keep Decades Bourbon
The Master's Keep series originally debuted in 2017, and featured the Aged 17 Years, Decades, The 1824 and Revival.
This is the first batch of the Decades expression.
This hand-selected lot of precious and rare barrels, aged between 10 and 20 years, represents the very best of two decades of bourbon making at the Wild Turkey Distilling Co. Master Distiller Eddie Russell’s harmonious mingling of liquid results in an extraordinarily enjoyable whiskey with the finesse and deep character of older bourbon, anchored by the bold, balanced, and vibrant backbone of the 10 year old bourbon in the blend.
Beautifully intricate flavors of butterscotch, dried fruit, chocolate, and smoke. A bouquet of oak and caramel. Lingers with a smooth, sweet, and spicy finish.
Tasting Notes
The flavors repeatedly bounce from sweeter notes, to oaky ones, before settling on strong baking spice notes. If the sweeter notes were more prominent like they often were with older Wild Turkey releases, this palate would be top notch.
An expressive and gratifying nose of typical Wild Turkey aromas consisting of toffee, orange peel, and caramel. Oak and butterscotch provide a rich base along with another aroma that’s hard to pin down.
A long finish that’s bold with its oak and spice notes. There is a bit of clove, tannins, and ethanol on the aftertaste that counters the better aspects of the finish.
