Wild Turkey Master's Keep Triumph Rye: A Masterpiece of Rye Whiskey Craftsmanship
Wild Turkey Master's Keep Triumph Rye is a testament to the legacy of the Russell family and the distillery's deep-rooted tradition in crafting exceptional spirits. As the latest addition to the Master's Keep series, Triumph stands out not only as the oldest age-stated rye whiskey ever released by Wild Turkey but also as a remarkable expression of rye whiskey artistry.
Superior Craftsmanship and Quality
Master's Keep Triumph is a 10-year-old rye whiskey, a blend of 10- and 12-year-old ryes meticulously crafted to perfection. This limited-edition release is bottled at 104 proof, delivering a bold and complex flavor profile. The whiskey is aged in new American oak barrels with the Number 4 "alligator" char, which contributes to its deep amber color and rich flavor. The extended aging process enhances the spirit, resulting in a balanced rye that is both robust and refined.
Exquisite Flavor Profile
The flavor profile of Master's Keep Triumph Rye is a harmonious blend of sweet honey, clove, and dark chocolate, with hints of dates and spice. The rich mocha-coffee and black pepper finish add a layer of complexity, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate a whiskey with depth and character. Unlike many ryes, Triumph's flavor is tailored for sipping neat or on the rocks, offering a sophisticated alternative to more conventional rye cocktails.
The Legacy of Wild Turkey Distillery
Wild Turkey's Master's Keep series, introduced in 2015 by Master Distiller Eddie Russell, was designed to showcase the distillery's innovation and craftsmanship. Each release in the series tells a unique story, and Triumph is no exception. Inspired by Eddie's son, Bruce Russell, and his passion for rye, Triumph serves as a tribute to the younger Russell's influence and the enduring legacy of the family's distilling expertise.
Wild Turkey has a storied history dating back to 1940 when the brand name was coined during a hunting trip. Located in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, the distillery benefits from its position on a limestone shelf, providing pure water essential for whiskey production. The father and son team of Jimmy and Eddie Russell bring over 100 years of combined experience to the distillery, ensuring that every bottle of Wild Turkey reflects their commitment to quality.
