Wild Turkey Generations Kentucky Straight Bourbon 2023 Release

Wild Turkey Generations is a barrel-proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon and the 2023 release celebrating three generations of the Russell family — a blend of 9, 12, 14, and 15-year-old bourbons assembled by Jimmy, Eddie, and Bruce Russell and bottled at 120.8 proof, non-chill filtered.

Generations marks the first bottling to carry the signatures of all three Russell generations — Jimmy, his son Eddie, and grandson Bruce — on a single label. The blend draws together four age statements from 9 to 15 years, married into one barrel-proof bourbon that runs Wild Turkey's signature high-rye character through a deep, mature oak frame.

Tasting Notes
