Wild Turkey 17 Year Old 101 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon / Japan

The Wild Turkey distillery, then known as Boulevard, was built in 1935 by the Ripy Brothers in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. The Wild Turkey brand name originated around 1941 when some, shared on a hunting trip, was referred to as "some of that wild turkey whiskey." It is distilled at bottled by the Austin Nicholls company and for many years they had sourced the whiskey from the Ripy's, but eventually bought the distillery from them in 1972, renaming it in the process. Of almost equal importance, the purchase of the distillery included the contract of legendary master distillery, Jimmy Russell, who started working there in 1954. His name is synonymous with the brand, and his son succeeded him 2015. In 2011 a new Wild Turkey distillery was built on the same site, replacing the original Ripy plant after 76 years.

This is a beautifully presented 17 year old limited edition, produced in 2001 exclusively for Japan, a market that historically had a taste for older aged bourbon than in the US.

The story of Wild Turkey began when McCarthy, with a vision to craft a bourbon that would capture the essence of the wild and untamed spirit of the American wilderness, set out to create a whiskey that would stand apart from the rest. Drawing inspiration from the rugged terrain and the wild turkeys that roamed freely in the Kentucky hills, McCarthy meticulously developed a recipe that would later become the hallmark of the brand.

The brand's commitment to quality and authenticity has remained unwavering throughout its journey. Wild Turkey's distinct flavor profile, characterized by its bold and robust taste, quickly gained popularity among bourbon enthusiasts.
