Wild Turkey Forgiven Batch 303 is a rare limited bottling born from one of bourbon's most celebrated accidents — a blending error at the Wild Turkey Distillery that combined their Kentucky straight bourbon and straight rye whiskey in the same barrel run, producing a bourbon-rye hybrid that Master Distiller Jimmy Russell decided was too good to discard, resulting in one of the most distinctive and collectible Wild Turkey releases ever produced.Wild Turkey Forgiven was first released in 2013 to commemorate the original blending accident, combining Wild Turkey's signature high-rye bourbon with their straight rye whiskey in a precise ratio that produced the caramel, vanilla, and warm baking spice of the bourbon alongside the assertive grain and pepper character of the rye. Batch 303 is among the later and most sought-after iterations of the Forgiven line — each batch carries a slightly different bourbon-to-rye ratio and proof, making individual batches distinct collector's targets. The 700ml bottle with the characteristic Wild Turkey label and Forgiven designation is one of the most recognized limited releases from the Lawrenceburg, Kentucky distillery.Tasting Notes Nose: Caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, baking spice, and a signature rye grain lift Palate: Brown sugar, warm cinnamon, pepper, charred oak — the bourbon and rye in balanced integration Finish: Long and warming — sweetness and rye spice sustained through a complex, lingering close Specs Distillery: Wild Turkey Distillery, Lawrenceburg, Kentucky (Jimmy Russell, Master Distiller) Style: Blended Bourbon and Rye Whiskey — Limited Batch Release Batch: 303 Size: 750ml Browse all American whiskey at Wooden Cork.{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What is Wild Turkey Forgiven?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"A limited Wild Turkey release born from an accidental blend of their straight bourbon and straight rye whiskey.
