17 years. 2001. Limited Edition. Wild Turkey — a 2001 limited edition of Wild Turkey's 17-year Kentucky straight bourbon, one of the most mature standard-format Wild Turkey expressions ever produced and now over two decades from its original bottling.
Wild Turkey 17-year limited editions were produced in small quantities for international markets during the early 2000s — a period when premium aged American whiskey was primarily exported to Japan and Europe while the domestic market had limited appetite for long-aged bourbon. The 17-year age statement at this production era is extraordinary: only the most recent Master's Keep 17-year (released 2015) has matched this age statement domestically, and that expression sold out immediately.
At 17 years from a 2001 bottling, the spirit inside was distilled approximately 1984 — placing the production era in Wild Turkey's classic pre-revival period under the master distilling tenure that produced the legendary expressions now commanding collector premiums.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How does the 2001 17-year compare to the Master's Keep 17-year from 2015? Both are 17-year Wild Turkey expressions but from different eras. The 2001 Limited Edition draws on 1984-era distillate from the classic pre-revival production period; the Master's Keep 17yr (2015) draws on approximately 1998-era production. Different distillation eras producing different character profiles at the same age.
