Wild Turkey Triumph
The Wild Turkey Master’s Keep Triumph is a limited edition, 10 year old straight rye whiskey released in 2024 as part of the Wild Turkey Master’s Keep series.

Wild Turkey Triumph Aging and Maturation Process
- The Master’s Keep Triumph is a hand selected 10 year old rye whiskey. This extended aging period allows for a more complex flavor profile to develop compared to younger wild turkey rye whiskeys.
- It’s matured in traditional American white oak barrels, allowing the whiskey to interact with the wood and extract flavors like vanilla, caramel, and spice.
Flavor and Aroma Profile
The 10 year aging and rye grain influence contribute to a distinct flavor and aroma profile:
-
- Aroma: Aromas of vanilla, crème brûlée, and mint followed by notes of apple, pear, and nutmeg.
- Palate: Sweet notes of honey and clove transition to dark chocolate, dates, and spice.
- Finish: Soft wood notes give way to mocha-coffee, oak, and black pepper.
Proof
- Triumph is bottled at 104 proof, offering a good balance between flavor intensity and drinkability.
Overall, the Wild Turkey Masters Keep Triumph is a noteworthy release for rye whiskey enthusiasts. Its 10 year age and focus on rye character create a bold and flavorful expression.
