Wild Turkey's Longbranch is the tasty result of a collaboration between master distiller Eddie Russell, and the distillery's creative director, who just so happens to be Matthew McConaughey. (Yes, that award-winning actor from Magic Mike, just in case you know another one.) It's made with eight-year-old Wild Turkey bourbon, and brings together elements from Eddie's and Matthew's home states, using charcoal made of both Kentucky white oak and Texas mesquite to filter the liquid. The bottle bears the signatures of both men on the label, and with sweet citrus and spicy notes, it's far more than... alright, alright, alright.
A sweet blend of caramel, smooth toffee lifted by spicy notes of nutmeg and oak.
Initially creamy vanilla, fading into buttery caramel, orchard fruits, a dash of lemon zest tempered by a drizzle of honey.
A pinch of black pepper appears on the finish, followed by an underlying buttery note and lingering drying oak.

..just got a little better with this rather lovely sundown offering from Wild Turkey. It’s smooth, with a little spice deep in the finish, a hint of Texas barbecue on a summer evening, and a typical syrupy sweetness in the nose. Lovely, exceptionally well priced for the quality, and needs a place on any decent whiskey shelf
Typical Wild Turkey - not that good but better than most. Fair to middling you might say. But I have Kentucky heritage - what would I know!
Longbranch is very good but little bit overpriced Bourbon, there is nothing special to me
My new favourite. A smooth bourbon. Well worth the money
Definitely a 5 star dram. A delicious bourbon with a mesquite twist that makes it stand out from other bourbons. Give it a try I am certain you'll love it.
