Wild Turkey Master’s Keep Unforgotten is the eighth release in the company’s annual Master’s Keep limited series. This year’s edition takes inspiration from the 2010 release of Wild Turkey Forgiven, which was a “fortuitous and unexpected co-mingling of young rye and mature bourbon.” Over a decade later, Master Distiller Eddie Russell has leveraged his years of distillation experience to craft Master’s Keep Unforgotten, a high proof, extra-aged variation of the harmonious blend of straight bourbon and rye whiskies, this time finished in rye casks for a secondary aging period in the pre-prohibition Rickhouse B – the favorite rickhouse of Eddie’s father, Master Distiller Jimmy Russell. Sweet caramel and cinnamon sugar are immediately apparent on the nose followed by rye spice, green apple, orange, honey, and sweet oak. Caramel, sweet oak and honey continue on the palate and are joined by dried fruits and warm baking spices. Peppery rye spice dominates the finish after the sweeter palate with lingering dried fruits.
