Distillery: Wild Turkey Distillery

Wild Turkey Tradition has been aged for 14 years in new, white oak barrels with the heaviest (and most expensive) level of char. After aging in the sweet spot or whats sometimes called the center cut of Wild Turkeys oldest warehouses, the liquid was bottled at 101 proof in order to retain the true bourbon flavor as has always been done at the Wild Turkey Distillery. The unique packaging combines a traditional metallic base and metal cap with cork stopper with a clean contemporary glass bottle design. It is presented in a special wooden box with an insert describing the rich story behind the product.

When youre blessed with a talented father and son team of distillers like Jimmy and Eddie Russell, you want to celebrate their talented touch, and thats what weve done with Tradition, said Joe Uranga, Vice President of Marketing for Wild Turkey. With such a limited number of bottles produced, we could easily ask more than $100 for this ultra-premium bottling, but thats not what Wild Turkey is about. We dont want to see Tradition become a mythical bottle, but instead we want it to be enjoyed by consumers who truly appreciate a fine, hand-crafted bourbon of such impeccable quality.
