Wild Turkey Master’s Keep Beacon Scoresheet & Review
When I started reviewing Wild Turkey Master’s Keep releases, I had every intention of procuring at least one bottle of each and providing a subsequent review. That was around the time Master’s Keep One released, one of the line’s more polarizing bottles. I wasn’t able to track down a bottle…
