Ep. 353: This is my Jimmy Russell 70th Anniversary Wild Turkey 8 Year 101 Review

The Wild Turkey brand has become as synonymous with bourbon as its master distiller, Jimmy Russell, has during his 70 year tenure at the Campari-owned company. In honor of a feat unlike any other in the industry, Turkey brought to market a bourbon that both honors and represents the legacy of Jimmy's storied journey at his home distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. This 8 year old, 101 proof bourbon celebrates a flavor profile that after one sip, anyone who's grown to know and love Wild Turkey over the years can taste and say, "Yep: that's Jimmy's." On Eric's last episode before Perry returns from paternity leave, he reviews this beautifully crafted whiskey (with a special guest), and gives you an idea of just how important both Wild Turkey and Jimmy Russell are not just to Kentucky but to the world of bourbon at large. We hope you pour a toast, raise a glass, and thank Jimmy for bringing us some of the best dang bourbon we could have ever passed over our lips. Enjoy.
