Master’s Keep Revival is made from a blend of Wild Turkey Kentucky Straight Bourbon aged 12-15 years, elegantly finished Oloroso Sherry casks at least 20 years of age, each hand-selected by Master Distiller Eddie Russell.
The result is a one-of-a-kind, 101 proof sipping whiskey with aromas of cherry pie, raisins, citrus, nuts, and a touch of oak. It delivers soft and creamy hints of spice and sweet tropical fruits on the palate and a long and lingering finish of dried apricots, honey, and subtle spice. An homage to a bourbon pioneered by Jimmy Russell, it’s a must-own for the serious whiskey collector.

"Strawberry jam on warm cornbread pulls you in on the nose, with red fruits, rye spice, cocoa powder and oak. The palate kicks off with vanilla, syrupy pancakes, baking spices, and black pepper, with milk chocolate and oak coming on late. A long-lasting finish showcases brown sugar, rich vanilla sweetness, and a dose of spearmint, along with leather, and more oak and spice. Very much an amplified, fruitier Wild Turkey." - Jake Emen, Distiller
" Very rarely does a whiskey accomplish what Master’s Keep Revival has. There’s complexity in its uniqueness, gratification in its completeness, yet elusiveness in exactly what makes those traits so. It has intrigue, mystery, revelation, wonder, and closure. It reminds you of the past, opens your mind to the future, and ultimately provides a sipping experience that very few American whiskeys can (or ever do). Last year Master’s Keep Decades received praise from numerous critics and industry publications, ranking third overall in Whisky Advocate’s Best of 2017. With Revival, Wild Turkey has an even stronger contender for 2018’s Whisky of the Year." - Rarebird101
