Product Description
The Wild Turkey Master’s Keep Beacon is a fitting finale to the Master’s Keep series: bold, mature, and unapologetically oak-forward, while still carrying Wild Turkey’s signature spice and balance. It’s a collector’s release that also drinks like a statement bourbon, ideal for enthusiasts who love richly aged, high-proof whiskies with depth and complexity.
Origins & Craftsmanship
-
Position in the Series: Beacon is the final release in Wild Turkey’s Master’s Keep line.
-
Blend / Age: It is a blend of 10-year-old and 16-year-old bourbons.
-
Proof / ABV: Bottled at 118 proof (59% ABV), making it the highest proof in the Master’s Keep lineup.
-
Barrel Selection: Made from carefully selected barrels housed in desirable spots in older rickhouses to amplify richness.
-
Distillers / Blenders: Crafted by Eddie Russell and his son, Bruce Russell, marking the first time Bruce’s name appears on a Master’s Keep release.
Tasting Profile
| Component | Notes & Observations |
|---|---|
| Appearance / Color | Deep mahogany with rich amber highlights. |
| Nose / Aroma | Dark fruit (cherry, dried apricot), honey, vanilla, cola, leather, toasted oak, and barrel char. |
| Palate / Taste | Rich oak backbone; caramel, vanilla bean, sweet char; spiced cherry, orange peel, tobacco, and baking spices. |
| Finish | Long and warming — oak tannins, lingering spice, tobacco, and fruit echoes. |
“The spice level feels like it's more than most Wild Turkey bourbons — almost bordering on a rye whiskey … the oak is both soft and hard-hitting … the finish stays with spiced fruit, candied citrus peel, and oak.”

Serve: Best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open up the aromatics, in a tulip or Glencairn to concentrate the nose.
-
