Wild Turkey 17 Years Master's Keep Bottle in Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

The fifth release in the series is only the second-ever Wild Turkey bourbon to carry the bottled-in-bond label. A bourbon with that label must be the product of one single distilling season from one distillery, aged in a federally bonded warehouse and bottled at 100 proof. The distilery took the historic process and protocol of aging for four years to the next level and allowed the liquid to rest for 17 years. They aged and perfected this rare, 17-year-old bourbon in Wild Turkey’s Camp Nelson rickhouses. This expression is a nod to the past, both to their own heritage and the heritage of American whiskey-making as a craft.

The bourbon has a taste and aroma of toasted oak, apple and dark cherry, the company reports, highlighted by the confectionary flavors of vanilla, brown sugar and toffee. The finish contains dark notes of mocha, smoke and spice.
