Wild Turkey Master's Keep 10 Year Old Triumph Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey 750mL

Oldest Ever Age Statement For A Wild Turkey Rye

Master’s Keep Triumph is an authentic celebration of Kentucky rye, crafted in the distinctive Wild Turkey way. As the oldest age- stated rye ever released from the Wild Turkey Distilling Co. at 10 years, this expression, inspired by Eddie’s son Bruce’s affinity for rye, stands as a testament to both the spirit’s tenacity and a son’s influence on a father’s craftmanship.

“Each release in the Master’s Keep series has been a salute to stories in our history, to other whiskies we’ve made, and even to other styles of spirits that I happen to enjoy. Master’s Keep Triumph is my tip of the cap to my son, Bruce Russell, newly appointed Associate Blender at Wild Turkey. Bruce has always had a passion for rye, and in making a Master’s Keep for his palate, it only felt right.

This edition of Master’s Keep is a "Triumph" – at 10-years-old, it’s the oldest age-stated rye we’ve ever released at the Wild Turkey Distilling Co. For me, it’s a magnificent expression of what rye whiskey can be. We laid down the casks that make up this small batch with the intention of allowing it to age longer than most – after all, that is one thing we like to do here at Wild Turkey, age longer. Over the course of their lifetime, we continued to taste them, allowing the barrels to work their magic and perfect the whiskey inside.

It’s true to the quality and flavors that our Wild Turkey Distilling Co. ryes are known for, but the extended maturation helped develop a palate of sweet honey and clove notes that transition to dark chocolate, dates, and spice, and a rich mocha-coffee and black pepper finish.

Triumph is an exceptional chapter in our Master’s Keep story. Like a good book, it’s intriguing, gratifying and full of depth. We think it’s one you’ll want to keep coming back to.” - Eddie Russell.

Tasting Notes:

Triumph showcases a nose of vanilla, crème brûlée, and mint that transitions to apple, pear, and nutmeg. On the palate, the whiskey brings forth notes of sweet honey and spiced clove, giving way to dark chocolate, dates and spice with a finish of rich mocha-coffee and black pepper.

"Wild Turkey is finally pushing its own envelope when it comes to aged rye, and fans are luckier for it. It’s easy to daydream about even older age statements (and even higher proofs) for a future release. With Triumph, Eddie Russell and team have crafted a rye focused on flavor over eye-popping numbers on a label. Let’s hope he keeps trusting his palate." - David Thomas Tao, VinePair (95 Points)

"It's bold, rich, balanced and powerful, absolutely loaded to the gills with rye character and shows a new side of Wild Turkey that Generations solidly missed: The distillery can release bold whiskeys, and they can be *incredible*." - Bottle Raiders (97 Points)

"If anything, it’s a fun diversion from the parade of bourbons that Wild Turkey has been cranking out — as delightful as those have been." - Christopher Null, Drinkhacker (90 Points)

"This is an absolutely beautiful rye whiskey and really a testament to the quality of liquid that Wild Turkey is known for, but that price could make it a tough sell for some people." - Jonah Flicker, Robb Report (95 Points)
