Now, Eddie’s taking on more of the responsibility for developing new Wild Turkey and Russell’s Reserve whiskies, just as his own son enters the family business. We’ll talk with Eddie Russell and find out more about his latest project – the upcoming Master’s Keep Decades Bourbon – on this week’s WhiskyCast In-Depth.
