Wild Turkey Longbranch Kentucky Straight Bourbon is an 8-year-old bourbon of genuine refinement — filtered through both Texas mesquite and oak charcoals to deliver a whiskey of exceptional smoothness and distinctive character. Sweet vanilla balanced by a subtle, lingering smokiness, with the depth and complexity that 8 years of Kentucky maturation deliver. Smooth and approachable whether sipped neat, on the rocks, or in a mixed drink — a collaboration between Wild Turkey Master Distiller Eddie Russell and actor Matthew McConaughey, and a bourbon that brings a touch of Texas to the heart of Kentucky.
Tasting Notes
Appearance
Rich, warm amber — the deep, inviting colour of an 8-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon, with the depth and warmth that Wild Turkey’s American White Oak maturation and Texas mesquite charcoal refinement deliver.
Aroma
Sweet vanilla leads with warmth and generosity, with a subtle smokiness from the Texas mesquite charcoal refinement adding an intriguing, distinctive dimension. The classic Wild Turkey character of richness and depth is present throughout — refined, smooth, and immediately inviting.
Palate
Sweet vanilla balanced by a slight, lingering smokiness — the hallmark of a bourbon refined through both Texas mesquite and oak charcoals. Smooth and well-rounded, with 8 years of Kentucky maturation delivering a palate of genuine depth and approachability. The finish is clean, warm, and satisfying.
Pairs With
Wild Turkey Longbranch is exceptional neat or on the rocks — equally rewarding as the foundation for a classic Old Fashioned or Bourbon Sour, and a natural companion for BBQ smoked meats, dark chocolate, pecan pie, and aged hard cheeses.
