Wild Turkey ‘Jimmy Russell’s 70th Anniversary 8-Year-Old’ Kentucky Straight Bourbon celebrates the legendary impact of Master Distiller Jimmy Russell with a limited–edition release. Crafted in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, this bourbon is aged for 8 years and bottled at 101 proof, with a blend of whiskeys aged 8 to 9 years from some of Russells favorite rickhouses. Paying tribute to decades of tradition, this whiskey represents the heart of Wild Turkey’s rich bourbon heritage.
On the nose, expect a harmonious mix of vanilla, oak, honey, and warm cinnamon, with subtle hints of brown sugar, tobacco, and orange peel. The palate opens with creamy vanilla and sweet butterscotch, balanced by notes of black tea, dates, and toasted pecans. As you savor each sip, the flavors evolve into a rich blend of bitter chocolate, dark cherries, and burnt sugar, creating a deeply layered experience.
Best enjoyed neat or over ice, this bourbon offers a warm, lingering finish marked by caramel, dark cherry, oak, and a touch of bittersweet chocolate. The complexity and depth of this release make it a fitting tribute to Jimmy Russell’s 70 years of dedication to bourbon craftsmanship.
