About Wild Turkey® Distilling Company:

Wild Turkey® Distilling Company is an American distillery based in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, with deep roots in the tradition of bourbon and rye whiskey production. Its roots date back to the 19th century—in 1855, Austin Nichols began trading in wine and spirits, and in 1869, the Ripa brothers opened a family distillery on Wild Turkey Hill. It was this very place that later became the home of the Wild Turkey brand.

The name Wild Turkey originated in 1940, when one of the executives offered his bourbon to friends during a wild turkey hunting trip. Since then, the brand has become a symbol of distinctive Kentucky bourbon, known for its full-bodied character, spiciness, and honest craftsmanship.

The Russell family played a pivotal role in the brand’s history. Jimmy Russell joined Wild Turkey in 1954 and became one of the most influential figures in the world of bourbon. His son, Eddie Russell, joined the distillery in 1981 and was named master distiller in 2015. Together, they formed a unique father-son duo that significantly shaped the brand’s modern style.

Wild Turkey is known for its emphasis on traditional production methods, its proprietary yeast strain, limestone-filtered Kentucky water, non-GMO grains, and aging in new, deeply charred American white oak barrels. The result is bourbons and rye whiskeys with a robust, spicy, and authentically Kentucky flavor profile.

Today, Wild Turkey continues to build on its legacy through both classic and premium editions, such as Wild Turkey 101, Rare Breed, Kentucky Spirit, and Longbranch, and ranks among the most respected American whiskey brands, with a long history, a distinctive identity, and an unmistakable signature style.
