Wild Turkey Launches Generations
Wild Turkey has unveiled Wild Turkey Generations, a first-ever collaboration from three generations of the Russell family of whiskey makers.
Commemorating the Russell family’s impact on the art of bourbon making, Generations is made of four bourbons that were chosen by Jimmy, Eddie, and Bruce, and represents an opportunity to experience a whiskey created by the legendary grandfather, father, and son trio. This release also marks the first to feature the signatures of all three Russells on the custom-etched bottle, including that of newly appointed Associate Blender, Bruce Russell.
Bruce, like his grandfather Jimmy, prefers bold bourbon flavors, which come through in the 12 year old bourbon he selected for the blend. Eddie has a penchant for a softer honeyed, vanilla-laden flavor that typically comes from older bourbons, such as his 15 year old selection and the 14 year old whiskey he and Bruce picked together. Jimmy stayed true to his palate, as he has for decades, by selecting a 9 year old bourbon consistent with the classic Wild Turkey profile.
Bottled at 120.8 proof (60.4% ABV), Wild Turkey Generations is described as having an aroma of “oak and vanilla,” followed by “floral and spice notes with hints of baked apple, toffee and cloves” on the palate, concluding with a finish of “dark fruit and baking spice with lingering notes of sweet toffee and oak.”
Wild Turkey Generations is limited to approximately 5,000 bottles and will be available at select retailers nationwide for a suggested retail price of $450. Those in the United States will also have exclusive access to a limited online pre-sale in the coming days. To learn more about the pre-sale, sign up for the Wild Turkey community newsletter.
