MainStreet - "Wild Turkey Distillery"

Our first destination for our "Kentucky Spirits" episode of MainStreet, is the Wild Turkey Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. This brand of Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey has been distilled in and around this area since 1869. Master Distiller Jimmy Russell takes us on a tour of the facility, gives us an insight onto how bourbon is made, and why after 60 years on the job, he can't wait to work a few more.

[@livelife3502]

Big fan here in Australia too. Gonna buy a 1 litre bottle after work.

[@josiahquincy2744]

I choose bourbon over anything else because I love its sweetness and the flavor of the grains..... but I "enjoy" it because it speaks of our traditions.

[@Greenriver842]

Love my Wild Turkey RYE ❤

[@matthewgabbard6415]

I love Jimmy, but I doubt 101 was that different from 100 haha. What was different was the quality of the craftsmanship, the yeast, and whatever that magic is that makes the Bourbon from that distillery so good. Maybe it’s the warehouses, who knows, but it’s my favorite

[@robbieg.3462]

Wild turkey 101 still the best daily sipper around

[@skimask5049]

legend

[@frankd.506]

Congress called bourbon the official spirit of the USA 1967 I believe.

[@timtucker7939]

good stuff

[@tobytaylor5960]

True American Spirit.....invented by Scots and Irish.....kinda cool that they invented new whisky in their new land. It is truly American. European Traditions brought to a new land.

[@donniehowerton7527]

101 ,longbranch👍

[@westaustralia9812]

I don't enjoy bourbon, I prefer scotch - particularly lagavulin, but wild turkey bourbon is damn good.

[@mdiggler]

So you enjoy bourbon

[@rhettdawson4385]

I got a batch that wasn't 101. It proofed out at 87%..
What's up with that. A mislabeled bottle?
We I'm not happy with that one that.

[@Nebdog111]

Hate they were sold to an out of USA company.

[@Crazy--Clown]

Haha jimmy you silly old man... Perhaps you should listen to your staff

[@FM.......]

Why?
