Wild Turkey American Honey combines deep tradition with a decidedly modern twist. It introduced an ideal pairing, creating an exceptionally smooth liquor that has been described as a “Sweet Kick.” The first recipe originated at the Wild Turkey distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. Crafted by master distiller, Jimmy Russell, who always knew that American Straight Whiskeys bring deep, sweet, and bold flavors. American Honey truly is the sweeter side of Kentucky Straight Bourbon.
