Wild Turkey Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is crafted with excellence by Associate Master Distiller Eddie Russell. This rye whiskey uses Kentucky’s pristine limestone-purified water and the finest grain available to create its distinctive rich and spicy taste. Wild Turkey Rye is made from 4 and 5 year old whiskies, aged to perfection in heavily-charred new white oak barrels. This is how rye whiskey is meant to be, bold and genuine with no compromises.
