Rich History of the Wild Turkey Distillery
Wild Turkey Bourbon has a storied history that dates back to the 19th century. The distillery, located in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, was officially established in 1869. Known for its commitment to traditional methods and high-quality ingredients, Wild Turkey has become synonymous with exceptional bourbon. The brand's name originated in 1940 when distillery executive Thomas McCarthy brought a private supply of 101-proof bourbon on a wild turkey hunting trip. His friends enjoyed it so much that they began requesting "that wild turkey bourbon," and the name stuck.
Wild Turkey has been led by legendary Master Distiller Jimmy Russell since 1954, who has dedicated his life to perfecting the art of bourbon making. His son, Eddie Russell, joined the distillery in 1981 and now serves as Master Distiller alongside his father, ensuring that the legacy of Wild Turkey continues for future generations. This family tradition of craftsmanship and dedication to quality has earned Wild Turkey a reputation as one of the finest bourbons in the world.
