LAWRENCEBURG, Ky., Sept. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Wild Turkey Master's Keep Unforgotten, the newest release in the annual limited-edition series, was inspired by a fortuitous and unexpected co-mingling of young rye and mature bourbon released more than a decade ago.

The unconventional and complex liquid serves as a testimony to Eddie's experience and the legacy of Wild Turkey as one of the few Kentucky distilleries that have remained dedicated to the art of making rye whiskey, alongside its renowned bourbons.

Key Points: 
  • Rather than discard the serendipitous mistake, the Distillery celebrated it, bottling the whiskey for a limited time, and fittingly naming it Forgiven.
  • "Twelve years ago, I tasted the result of the distillery mishap that would become Wild Turkey Forgiven and was amazed.
  • The distillery for Wild Turkey Bourbon is located in Kentucky, situated on a deep limestone shelf on the Kentucky River.
  • Wild Turkey features the legendary father and son Master Distilling team of Jimmy and Eddie Russell, who have over 100 years of collective experience working at the Wild Turkey distillery.

LAWRENCEBURG, Ky., Aug. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Straight out of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, award-winning and family-crafted Russell's Reserve announces the debut of an all-new, annual limited-edition collection: Russell's Reserve Single Rickhouse. Serving as a distinct expression of the location (or "rickhouse") where the liquid is aged and the "terroir" of that aging environment, each Single Rickhouse bottling will feature rare liquid from a different, individual rickhouse - past and present - at the Wild Turkey Distillery. The series explores the often unsung contributions specific resting places have on a whiskey's final character, celebrating varied nuances of whiskey aging across these different environments. In light of the recent floods in Eastern Kentucky and the heart of Bourbon Country, the Russell family gladly donated the first bottles of this special liquid to The Kentucky Bourbon Benefit - Eastern Kentucky Flood Relief Fund this August as a way to support those impacted.

Key Points: 
  • The inaugural release, Russell's Reserve Single Rickhouse Camp Nelson C, features liquid from only 72 barrels from the now dismantled, seven-story rickhouse, Camp Nelson C. Built in 1946 and decommissioned in 2021, Camp Nelson C became a treasured rickhouse of Wild Turkey Distilling Co.
  • The Single Rickhouse from Camp Nelson C serves as a testament to the Russell Family's mastery of craft bourbon and appreciation of the distinctive liquid nuances that each Single Rickhouse brings.
  • "When I tasted this liquid from Camp Nelson C, I knew it deserved its own place in Russell's history.
  • Whether you're enjoying Russell's Reserve Single Rickhouse Camp Nelson C with your family or with friends, please remember to do so responsibly.
