Product Description
Wild Turkey Longbranch is a smooth, approachable bourbon crafted for easy sipping—not bold complexity. A collaboration between Wild Turkey’s Eddie Russell and actor Matthew McConaughey, it’s charcoal‑filtered with Texas mesquite to add a subtle smoky sweetness. With its gentle spice and dessert-like notes, it’s ideal for bourbon newcomers or fans of mellow, everyday pours
🧪 Origins & Processing
-
Developed jointly by Wild Turkey Master Distiller Eddie Russell and McConaughey as a Kentucky–Texas fusion.
-
Bottled at 86 proof (43% ABV) with a suggested 8-year age. After aging, the whiskey undergoes dual charcoal filtration—first with white American oak, then Texas mesquite—for texture and smoothed flavor.
👃 Nose (Aroma)
-
Gentle and inviting: caramel, vanilla, and brown sugar lead, softened by honey, orange peel, and light baking spices like nutmeg. A wisp of mesquite smoke and oak char underpins the sweetness.
👅 Palate & Texture
-
Lighter-bodied with a silky mouthfeel: flavors of cream soda, orange zest, corn sweetness, and honey emerge first. The taste transitions quickly between sweet and soft mesquite smoke.
🔁 Finish
-
A softly spiced close: cinnamon, oak, and smoke linger briefly before fading. The finish is clean and mild, lacking deep tannic drive.

"What if Kentucky took a roadtrip to Texas and introduced its very own small batch bourbon to some Texas mesquite. What if those two became best friends in a bottle – a small batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon, refined with American Oak and mesquite charcoals. You might think that’s a long way from home for a Kentucky straight bourbon, and you’d be right. But turning a ‘what if’ into a ‘that’s it’ can be pretty tasty."
"Mellow aromas of maple, vanilla and a hint of dried cherry entice. The palate echoes those flavors, bringing in a light flurry of clove and cinnamon spice. Adding water softens the profile to vanilla cookie dough flavor, sprinkled with ginger and allspice. It was filtered through Texas mesquite charcoal. " Wine Enthusiast 92 Points
