Wild Turkey Longbranch Bourbon

Description

A collaboration between Wild Turkey Creative Director Matthew McConaughey and Master Distiller Eddie Russell, this 8-year small batch bourbon is a culmination of 2 years of testing between the duo. The name Longbranch was “inspired by the friends that form the longest branches of our family trees,” as McConaughey and Russell share ties to both Kentucky and Texas. The main component of what makes the profile of this whiskey unique is the proprietary dual-charcoal filtration process in which the whiskey is first filtered through American White Oak and then a second time through Texas Mesquite. This helps the whiskey achieve a smoother feel and imparts that wonderful light Mesquite smoke.

This exceptional bourbon features deep complexity and flavors of caramel, pear, and subtle hints of smoke, sweetness, and spice, which is present whether you’re sipping it neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail. It pairs exceptionally well with barbeque, specifically smoked brisket.
