Wild Turkey’s Latest Master’s Keep Release Pays Homage to Fatherhood

As Father’s Day approaches, Wild Turkey has unveiled its latest Master’s Keep release, a 10-year-old rye whiskey that tells a touching story of fatherhood and the love for rye whiskey. The brand’s Master Distiller, Eddie Russell, crafted this whiskey after discovering his son, Associate Blender Bruce Russell, was a fan of rye whiskey.

“The Master’s Keep series continues to be a display of our creativity and quality at Wild Turkey,” Master Distiller Eddie Russell said in a statement. “We’ve always seen the collection as a vehicle to tell stories that celebrate our heritage and who we are as a distillery. This particular release was inspired by Bruce’s fondness for rye and is a nod to his influence on my work. Triumph is a rye you’ll be proud to serve and is a testament to the tenacity of the spirit.”

The story behind this whiskey is a fascinating one. Bruce Russell was a fan of rye whiskey even before it rose to popularity, and his father, Eddie, laid down a cask a decade ago. At the time, many distillers had given up on rye whiskey, but Wild Turkey believed in its potential. Today, the brand is proud to release this 10-year-old rye, which they claim is a testament to their dedication to the spirit.

Triumph, as it’s called, is a 104-proof whiskey that boasts sweet, honeyed clove aromas with dates, dark chocolate, spice, and a black pepper finish, interlaced with wisps of mocha. The brand claims it’s a versatile whiskey that can be enjoyed neat or in a cocktail.
