Appleton Estate rum casks carried Wild Turkey Master's Keep Voyage somewhere no Wild Turkey whiskey had been before: this 2023 release is a ten-year Kentucky straight bourbon finished in casks that held 14-year pot-still Jamaican rum, the first rum-cask finish in the distillery's history. Eddie Russell built it with Appleton's Master Blender Dr. Joy Spence and bottled it at 106 proof (53% ABV).

Wild Turkey & Appleton Estate Heritage

Kentucky & Jamaica Collaboration

Distilled at Wild Turkey Distilling Co. in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, Master's Keep Voyage bridges two historic distilling traditions. Master Distiller Eddie Russell joined forces with Appleton Estate Master Blender Dr. Joy Spence to select 14-year Jamaican rum casks that complement Wild Turkey's bold, high-rye bourbon profile.

Sensory Profile & Strategy

Master Distiller Tasting Notes
I

Sensory Profile

Nose: Molasses, ripe banana, toasted oak, and tropical fruit.
Palate: Brown sugar and tropical fruit folded into rich bourbon vanilla and warm rye spice.
Finish: Funky rum sweetness fading gracefully into black pepper, oak char, and dry spice.

II

Strategic Position

Rum finishes usually come from independent bottlers; a heritage Kentucky distillery pairing with a heritage Jamaican estate is a different weight class of collaboration. Voyage stands in the Master's Keep archive at Midnight Whiskey as the passport bottle that proved the series could leave Kentucky flavor territory without leaving Kentucky law.

Dr. Joy Spence, Appleton's master blender, collaborated on the cask selection and profile. Bottling came at 106 proof in July 2023. Grains: corn, rye, malted barley; proportions 75% corn, 13% rye, 12% malted barley.
