Wild Turkey Bourbon

Wild Turkey uses the highest possible standards in the selection of all its ingredients. The limestone-filtered water used in making Wild Turkey is taken from a well right on the distillery's grounds. The water is considered so pure that the town of Lawrenceburg located its water plant on the distillery's property. The grains used by Wild Turkey are rigorously checked for ripeness, purity and humidity. In fact, Wild Turkey's specifications are more stringent than those of the Federal government.

The yeast used in the fermentation process is cultivated at the distillery; the formula is a closely guarded secret that has been passed from generation to generation. Wild Turkey uses white oak barrels with the heaviest (most expensive) deep-layer char, which lends Wild Turkey its signature flavor and deep russet color. As the climate in Kentucky varies greatly in winter and summer, the barrels expand and contract at a pronounced rate, hastening the maturation process of Wild Turkey Bourbon and ultimately improving its quality.
