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.
