Despite its accidental beginnings, associate master distiller Eddie Russell quickly realised that he had an exceptional whiskey, hence the name ‘Forgiven’.
Made from 78% six-year-old Bourbon and 22% four-year-old Rye, the whiskey opens bold and finishes smooth, with tasting notes of creamy vanilla and oak, and a peppery, cinnamon finish.
“Wild Turkey is known for its uncompromised quality and taste in every Bourbon and Rye expression we make,” said Eddie Russell. “Much to the distillery team’s relief, Forgiven highlights the best of both worlds to create a one-of-a-kind taste that will appeal to both Bourbon and Rye aficionados. I was mad when I first discovered our crew’s mistake, but once I tasted it, all was Forgiven.”
Available in limited quantities in late summer 2013 with a suggested retail price of $49.99.
