Wild Turkey Longbranch Small Batch Bourbon

One day, Matthew McConaughey said "Alright, alright, alright" and called the bourbon legend Eddie Russel of Wild Turkey and told him he'd love to make a special kind of whiskey.

And they did. They compared notes, Matthew made a lot of calls in the middle of the night, and they created Longbranch.

Longbranch means an extending welcoming hand and it's not-so-secret secret is mesquite. It's the actor's favorite grilling wood and it grows in Texas. They used it to refine the bourbon and give it "that scent you remember."

Hum and pound your chest like a Wolf from Wall Street and share a sip of this rare and special potion with your bourbon lover.

  • Wild Turkey Rare Breed Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
