The Ripy Brothers returned to their home state of Kentucky after the American Civil War ended, and they established a distillery together on a hillside in Lawrenceburg. Before the 18th Amendment, which forbade the sale of alcoholic beverages in the US, was enacted, the distillery ran continuously for about 50 years. A distillery executive called Thomas McCarthy received samples of aging whiskey from the Ripy Brothers Distillery while hunting turkeys with a group of friends after the company reopened after Prohibition ended. The new name of the distillery came about after his companions asked him to bring “some of that wild turkey whiskey” on their next hunt the following year.

Master Distiller Jimmy Russell and his son Eddie Russell, who have over 90 years of combined bourbon-making experience, are currently in charge of Wild Turkey Distillery. “I was born and raised in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky,” Jimmy explains. “I grew up in a small town, but there were four bourbon distilleries here, and family members worked in every distillery.” You desired to enter the industry. My father, my grandpa, myself, and now my kid have all worked in the industry.
