Wild Turkey Distillery
Owned by the Campari Group, Wild Turkey is a renowned and world-renowned brand; a historic Kentucky distillery that produces amazing Bourbon Whiskeys sought after all over the world.
Master Distillers at the helm of the company, with over 60 years of experience, is Jimmy Russell also nicknamed by his colleagues in the sector "the Buddha of Bourbon"; at his side, moved by the desire to follow in his father's footsteps and continue the long family tradition of the art of the distillery, his son Eddie.
From the initial phase of procurement and selection of raw materials (rye, corn, malt and filtered water from the Kentucky river), which are analyzed 4 times before being used, we perceive the great attention of the company to produce and maintain a high quality standard. The production process has remained unchanged for over 150 years and involves the discontinuous distillation technique; the liquid obtained from the fermentation of raw materials by selected yeasts, is initially vaporized at high temperatures and subsequently returned to the liquid state to be re-distilled again.
Refinement takes place within American white oak barrels. and lasts at least 5-6 years. It is precisely the maturation phase that makes Bourbon Wild Turkey Whiskeys unique and inimitable, making them a point of reference and a certainty on the world market.
