WILD TURKEY MASTER’S KEEP BEACON
Capping off a decade of superior, boundary-pushing American Whiskey, this final chapter in Wild Turkey’s Master’s Keep series is a bold tribute to the distillery’s storied heritage while shining a light on the road ahead. Beacon is the highest-proof release in the Master’s Keep series, blending 16- and 10-year-old bourbons. This release marks the first time Bruce Russell’s name appears alongside Master Distiller Eddie Russell, celebrating generational craftsmanship and the distillery’s evolving vision.
“When we set out ten years ago to launch the Master’s Keep series, we knew we had something special but I never imagined the journey it would take us on. Our first release was the most unique whiskey we’d ever released, and with each expression since we’ve been able to share some of the rarest whiskies in our rickhouses, all while staying true to who we are as Wild Turkey. Looking back a decade later I’m very proud of what we’ve created to date, and looking forward to what’s next.”

“Since joining the distillery, I’ve watched my dad craft some incredible bourbons as part of the Master’s Keep lineup, all rooted in the principles and dedication to bold flavor established by my granddad. This final release feels especially meaningful, as the first Master’s Keep with my signature on the bottle and made using bourbon I helped create during some of my earliest days at the distillery. I’m proud to leave my mark on this iconic collection with a bourbon that represents a meaningful chapter in my own journey, and paves the way for the road ahead.”

TASTING NOTES
Beacon showcases an aroma of dark fruit and cherry, followed by honey, vanilla and cola. On the palate, it delivers layered sweetness with caramelized sugar and toffee, balanced by tea and warm spice, finishing with aged oak and soft leather.
