Beacon is the 10th and final Master's Keep release from Wild Turkey which first launched in 2015. It's made from a blend of 10 and 16 year-old bourbons crafted by Master Distiller Eddie Russell — the brainchild behind the Master's Keep series — and his son Associate Master Blender Bruce Russell.
Eddie selected bourbon distilled between 2007 & 2008 which were the last remaining bottles laid in the original Wild Turkey distillery while Bruce selected bourbon distilled in 2015 which was among the first he produced alongside his father and grandfather, Hall of Fame Master Distiller Jimmy Russell. Bottled at 118 proof, Beacon launched globally in September 2025.

Tasting Notes
"The nose shows notes of oak, pencil shavings, toast, and butterscotch. It smells a bit waxy as well. It's a bit chewy and oily on the palate with a zingy spicy vanilla-tinged profile. Overall, it's leaning more tangy-sweet and bright. Finish is average length and tastes of Red Hot candies and oak. "
