Steven Noble was commissioned to create the Wild Turkey Generations special release from Wild Turkey Distillery that includes illustrating three separate feathers for each of the generations of the Master Distillers: Jimmy Russell, Eddie Russell, and Bruce Russell rendered in a scratchboard woodcut/engraving style.
The bourbon Whiskey is a blend of 9-, 12-, 14-, and 15 year old bourbons, bottled at barrel strength without chill filtration. The following bourbons were selected by each of the legendary grandfather, father and son trio:
• Jimmy stayed true to his palate, as he has for decades, by selecting a nine-year-old bourbon consistent with the classic Wild Turkey profile.
• Eddie has a penchant for a softer honeyed, vanilla-laden flavor that typically comes from older bourbons, such as his 15-year-old selection and the 14-year-old whiskey he and Bruce picked together.
• Bruce, like his grandfather Jimmy, prefers bold bourbon flavors, which come through in the 12-year bourbon he selected for the blend.
