Wild Turkey 10 years Of. Sherry Signature

The wine

A bourbon whiskey aged for at least 10 years, distilled at the Wild Turkey distillery. This unusual limited edition was introduced at the start of the new millennium by owners Austin Nichols Distilling Co. The production process involved 10 years’’ maturation in American oak casks, followed by finishing in sherry casks and finally the addition of Oloroso sherry as a finishing touch. A rare curiosity.

About the Producer Wild Turkey

Wild Turkey is a bourbon distillery founded in 1869 in Tyrone, near Lawrenceburg, in the state of Kentucky. The Wild Turkey brand is said to have been founded after Thomas McCarthy, a director of the brand’s bottler Austin Nichols, took home a few samples of bourbon from a trip to hunt wild turkey in 1940. According to legend, he invited some close friends to taste what would become Wild Turkey Bourbon and they were immediately smitten.
