Wild Turkey Generations marks the first time three generations of the Russell family have collaborated on a single whiskey, blending storied past with compelling present to honor the family's remarkable legacy. With over 100 years of combined experience between Wild Turkey Master Distillers Jimmy Russel, Eddie Russell, and Associate Blender Bruce Russell, this bourbon is a blend of hand-selected barrels unique to each of their tastes.
Bruce, like his grandfather Jimmu, prefers bold bourbon flavors, which comes through in the 12-year bourbon he selected for the blend. Meanwhile, Eddie has a penchant for a softer honeyed, vanilla-laden flavor that typically comes from older bourbons, such as his 15-year-old selection, and the 14-year-old whiskey he and Bruce picked together. Jimmy stayed true to his palate, as he has for decades, by selecting a nine-year-old boutbon consistent with the classic Wild Turkey profile.
