Wild Turkey Master’s Keep Unforgotten is a distinguished limited‑release whiskey from Wild Turkey’s acclaimed Master’s Keep series, crafted under the direction of Master Distiller Eddie Russell. Inspired by a serendipitous 2010 blend that became the Wild Turkey Forgiven release, Unforgotten elevates this concept by marrying an extra‑aged 13‑year‑old bourbon with 8 and 9 year old rye whiskies. After marrying the components, the blend undergoes a secondary finish in rye casks housed in Wild Turkey’s historic pre‑Prohibition Rickhouse B, a step that deepens its complexity and highlights rye‑influenced character.
Bottled at a bold 105 proof (52.5 % ABV), Unforgotten delivers a layered tasting experience: fruit‑forward aromas and sweet oak on the nose; rich flavors of caramel, dried fruit, and honey on the palate; and a warming finish accented with black pepper and baking spices from the rye‑inspired influence. This harmony of bourbon sweetness and rye spice reflects Wild Turkey’s dedication to tradition, innovation, and expressive barrel finishing.
Ideal for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a unique blend that bridges bourbon and rye heritage, Master’s Keep Unforgotten stands as a testament to thoughtful blending and barrel mastery within the broader landscape of premium American whiskey.
