Wild Turkey Master's Keep Triumph is a 10 year Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey from Master Distiller Eddie Russell, part of the Master's Keep series that houses the distillery's most limited and ambitious expressions. Triumph is historically significant as the first 10 year Kentucky Straight Rye ever released under the Wild Turkey name and as one of the oldest rye releases from the Lawrenceburg distillery. The blend leans on stocks from the original Wild Turkey rickhouses including barrels that predate the 2000 warehouse fire and that have been carefully managed by the Russell family since. Rye whiskey ages differently than bourbon, and 10 years of Kentucky warehouse exposure delivers concentrated baking spice, dark caramel, and layered oak while preserving the distinctive grain character that makes Wild Turkey rye one of the most respected in the category. Bottled at 101 proof — the hallmark Wild Turkey strength — in a custom engraved decanter with the distillery turkey motif and delivered in a premium green and gold Master's Keep gift box. 750ml.

Tasting Notes
Color: Deep burnished copper with amber highlights.
Nose: Warm baking spice, dark caramel, and toasted oak with layered notes of honey, dried mint, clove, and a touch of orange peel. Classic Wild Turkey backbone with added aged rye depth.
Palate: Full bodied and layered. Baking spice and black pepper lead with caramel, dark cherry, dried herbs, and cocoa carrying through. The 101 proof delivers weight without harshness and the 10 years of aging shows in the polished oak.
Finish: Long and structured with lingering rye spice, dark toffee, and a final wave of mint leaf and toasted oak. Classic Eddie Russell signature.
FAQ
What is the Master's Keep series?
Master's Keep is Wild Turkey's ultra premium limited release line curated by Master Distiller Eddie Russell. Each expression is built around rare or aged stocks and releases annually in tightly allocated quantities. Previous entries have included Decades, Revival, 17 Year Bottled in Bond, Cornerstone Rye, and One. Triumph is notable as the first 10 year Kentucky Straight Rye in the series.
How does Triumph compare to Wild Turkey Rare Breed Rye or 101 Rye?
Rare Breed Rye is a non age stated barrel proof blend released in smaller batches. 101 Rye is the core range everyday expression. Triumph is aged longer than either at 10 years, bottled at the traditional 101 proof, and carries significantly deeper oak, caramel, and spice complexity. It is the aged, collector tier expression of the Wild Turkey rye mashbill.
Is 10 years a long age for rye?
Yes. Most American rye on the market is 2 to 6 years old. At 10 years in Kentucky warehouses, Triumph sits among the oldest commercially released American ryes and is among the most aged rye Wild Turkey has ever bottled.
Is the Master's Keep gift box included?
Yes. Triumph ships in the original green and gold Master's Keep collector gift box with the engraved bottle inside, as released by the distillery.
