Wild Turkey Releases Jimmy Russell’s 70th Anniversary 8 Year Old Bourbon
Wild Turkey Distilling Co. has announced the launch of Wild Turkey Jimmy Russell’s 70th Anniversary 8 Year Old Bourbon, a limited edition release that celebrates Master Distiller Jimmy Russell’s 70th anniversary with the company.
Wild Turkey Jimmy Russell’s 70th Anniversary 8 Year Old Bourbon features Jimmy’s signature 8 year old, 101 proof bourbon, along with an additional blend of 8-9 year old whiskeys that were hand-selected from a few of his favorite rickhouses. The bourbon is described as having aromas of “oak, honey, cinnamon, and tobacco,” and flavors of “sweet cream, butterscotch, and black tea notes that transition to bitter chocolate, dark cherry, and burnt sugar.”
Wild Turkey Jimmy Russell’s 70th Anniversary 8 Year Old Bourbon will be available in select global markets starting this fall for a suggested retail price of $50 per 750 mL bottle.
