Wild Turkey – '1855' Reserve 1994 (75cl, 56.1%)

Wild Turkey '1855' Reserve, 1994 is a cask strength Kentucky bourbon, bottled at 56.1% ABV in a 75cl bottle. It is an unusual expression for the distillery. Wild Turkey was built as the Boulevard distillery in 1935 by the Ripy Brothers in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. Austin Nicholls bought it in 1972 and renamed it, and the purchase brought master distiller Jimmy Russell, who had started there in 1954. A new distillery was built on the same site in 2011.
