About this deal

This is the first time Wild Turkey has released a product that features a signature of someone other than the master distillers Jimmy and Eddie Russell. It's made with eight year old Wild Turkey bourbon, and brings together elements from Eddie's and Matthew's home states, using charcoal made of both Kentucky white oak and Texas mesquite to filter the liquid.

Wild Turkey's bourbons are a testament to craft, persistence and with Jimmy Russell, the longest-tenured active master distiller at the helm Wild Turkey stay true to pre prohibition era traditions.

I was bought a bottle of this yesterday for my birthday (01/08/20), from my wife who knows I enjoy a good Bourbon.

I also don’t like to completely kill beloved bottles like this, so I had to have a backup bottle to tag David in.Lately, though, Wild Turkey has been trying to buck that reputation and compete with the (other) big names in bourbon by releasing special edition this and distiller’s own that, which initially struck me as a bit of a betrayal of the brand. The resulting bourbon is bottled at a reasonable 43% ABV and does not provide an age statement, which means future batches could dip below that 8 year-old mark. With Water: Several drops of water initially amps up the nose tickle, so give it a rest in the glass.

Palate Initially creamy vanilla, fading into buttery caramel, orchard fruits, a dash of lemon zest tempered by a drizzle of honey. You will not be able to complete your purchase of spirit/liquor products if you enter a PO Box or are in one of those locations. A full-bodied and balanced bourbon, at once fresh, sweet and smoky, with a rich and rounded mouthfeel, Longbranch is a collaborative effort between Wild Turkey Master Distiller Eddie Russell and the brand's Creative Director – award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey. I’ve always been a fan of Wild Turkey, especially the baseline 101 expression because it has always represented classic bourbon value to me. Sure, it has a low proof, but if you have had it you would know that the mesquite turned up that typical Turkey bite with a peppery, tannic chomp.

The company says it was inspired by McConaughey's Kentucky and Texas roots, this rare small-batch Kentucky bourbon is refined with Texas Mesquite and oak charcoals 'a unique method that deepens the flavor and complexity of the Whiskey. Had I known about the celebrity connection I probably would not have purchased this bottle, given the gimmick status if so many other hollywood-connected liquors, and that would have been a tragedy.

McConaughey and the Russells say they were going for a sweeter, mellower, easier-drinking style of sipping whiskey but with a hint of Texas smoke. This is a Kentucky bourbon that’s been produced in a collaboration between Eddie Russell and Matthew McConaughey (the distillery's creative director). Longbranch from Wild Turkey has been refined using charcoal from Kentucky White Oak and Texan Mesquite as a nod to both home states. This unique process results in an extraordinarily balanced and smooth sipping whiskey with subtle hints of smoky sweetness.The Old Fashioned is one of the earliest whiskey cocktails in modern record, thought to be developed in the early 1800s. Though countless modern variations have popped up in the centuries since, the classic Old Fashioned is understood as a simple combination of whiskey (usually bourbon or rye), s. What if those two became best friends in a bottle – a small batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon, refined with American Oak and mesquite charcoals. It ticks all of the boxes while also having a little “extra” in the form of mesquite charcoal and derived mild smoke flavors.
