Wild Turkey Long Branch was created in collaboration with Wild Turkey’s legendary Master Distiller, Jimmy Russell, and renowned actor Matthew McConaughey. Inspired by McConaughey’s love for the bourbon-making process, the blend is charcoal-mellowed with American white oak and Texas mesquite wood, giving it a distinctive flavour profile. The marriage of these two wood types brings out the rich, smoky flavour that has become a signature of this special edition.
