Wild Turkey: Longbranch



This whiskey is the result of a collaboration between of Wild Turkey’s creative director Matthew "Mahogany" McConaughey and master distiller Eddie Russell.

Short review: It's alright, alright, alright.

It's Wild Turkey filtered through mesquite charcoal and then, for whatever reason, watered down slightly. So it's a gentle bourbon that packs plenty of flavour. It's a fairly typical WT with extra woody notes layered over it. 

An effortless sipper you are probably meant to drink on a rustic porch somewhere while looking lightly windswept.

I would have liked it a lot more, though, if it were 100 proof.

€38 a litre at Expert24 , so a decent price if you fancy some of Mahogany's juice.


BONUS LEGO REVIEW

Day 2 brings us another spaceship. One that you have to Google if you aren't a hardcore Mandolorian fan - it's from some other bounty hunter and has about 2 seconds of screen time. Another fun build, though, and, for its size, very swooshable.
