The history of Wild Turkey began in 1869 with the founding of the Ripy Distillery on a hill now known as Wild Turkey Hill, overlooking a gorge on the Kentucky River. In 1919, the distillery was closed due to Prohibition, but reopened in 1933. Since 1941, Wild Turkey whiskies have been produced in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, by Austin Nichols.

The Wild Turkey brand name became established in 1940 when Thomas McCarthy, a manager at the Ripy Distillery, regularly took the whisky with him on turkey hunts, thereby making it increasingly well-known.

For over 60 years, the legendary master distiller Jimmy Russell has been producing Wild Turkey 101. This bourbon is characterised by a high rye content and is matured in deeply charred American white oak casks. This special charring process gives it an intense character with rich aromas of caramel, vanilla and oak. Wild Turkey 101 remains a classic of bourbon production and stands for the highest quality and tradition.
