Description
Wild Turkey’s Master’s Keep Decades is a limited-edition Kentucky Distiller’s finest bourbon blend aged between 10 and 20 years. Made from 75% corn, 13% rye, and 12% malted barley, it is 104 proof and released in 2017 to commemorate Master Distiller Eddie Russell’s 35th Anniversary. The whiskey is a stunningly complex sipping whiskey with classic bourbon undertones, including rich caramel, toffee, and sweet vanilla notes, citrus, and an oaky finish.
Tasting Notes
Nose: An expressive and gratifying nose of typical Wild Turkey aromas consisting of toffee, orange peel, and caramel. Oak and butterscotch provide a rich base along with another aroma that’s hard to pin down.
Taste: The flavors repeatedly bounce from sweeter notes to oaky ones, before settling on strong baking spice notes. If the sweeter notes were more prominent like they often were with older Wild Turkey releases, this palate would be top notch.
Finish: A long finish that’s bold with its oak and spice notes. There is a bit of clove, tannins, and ethanol on the aftertaste that counters the better aspects of the finish.
