And by Kentuckywood we mean it was made in Kentucky with some help from Hollywood. Well, okay, from Texas, actually. 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."
Now, we know involving celebrities in anything is like betting on an aging horse that lives on sour mash Whiskey. It could go either way. But this time, it seems McConaughey really put himself into the process and one of the indicators the Master Distillers Jimmy and Eddie Russell themselves are confident in this collaboration is the fact that this is the first time Eddie Russell isn't the only one signed on the bottle. He shares that sacred space with McConaughey. So, hum and pound your chest like a Wolf from Wall Street and have a sip of this rare and special potion.

Longbranch Small Batch Bourbon

At any given time, there are more barrels of Bourbon in Kentucky than there are people. The population of the Bluegrass State is about 4.4 million. Today there are more than 5 million barrels of Bourbon sitting in the rick-houses of that Old Kentucky Home. That’s nearly 300 bottles of Bourbon per person, or about 60 gallons each.
Bourbons are very high in vanilla, as American White Oak is naturally high in vanillins.
During the fire of 2000, more than 900,000 gallons of Whiskey caught fire and spilled, setting a local forest on fire, poisoning a local stream, and saturating local limestone deposits with flaming alcohol, causing them to explode.
Straight Bourbon must be matured for at least 2 years. If a bottle has no age statement, it’s at least 4 years old.
Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
Bourbons have very prominent notes of vanilla, as American White Oak is naturally high in vanillins.
