Wild Turkey Diamond Anniversary Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Wild Turkey Diamond Anniversary is a limited-edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon — a blend of rare 13- to 16-year-old whiskies hand-selected by Eddie Russell to honor his father Jimmy Russell's 60 years at the distillery, bottled at 91 proof and scored 97 points by Wine Enthusiast.

Released in 2014, Diamond Anniversary marks six decades of Jimmy Russell at Wild Turkey — one of the longest master-distiller tenures in American whiskey. Eddie Russell cherry-picked barrels aged 13 to 16 years, roughly twice the age of the flagship Wild Turkey 101, blending them for a deeper, more oak-driven expression of the Wild Turkey house style. The release was presented in a wooden box, with 36,000 bottles produced.
