Learn about the rich Yellowstone bourbon history, our unique distillery tour experience, and our unforgettable meeting with master distiller Stephen Beam.

Hear our thoughts on this Limestone Branch Distillery single barrel, a true testament to the quality of the Yellowstone Hand Picked Collection (the red label bottles!).

After the tour and meeting the distillery’s beloved cat, Cooper, we finally taste a highly sought-after, RARE 7-Year Small Batch Rye that was bottled-in-bond.

ABOUT THE BOTTLE REVIEWED

❌YOUR BOURBON JOURNEY DOES NOT SELL ALCOHOL❌

This Distillery Only 7-Year Rye was aged for a full seven years on the property. We explore whether the low-rye mash bill (56% Rye) delivers on its promise.

Tasting Notes

On the nose, expect floral notes, sweet honey, hints of chocolate, and herbal mint. The palate is beautifully balanced with rich caramel, baking spice, and a touch of lemon peel. The finish is long, warm, and ends with a unique peppermint patty coolness.

The BEST Wild Turkey Distillery Tour & Tasting!

/ bourbonjourney / Leave a comment

Bourbon Trail Tales & Tastes Episode 42 – Wild Turkey Distillery

Get ready for an adventure down the Kentucky Bourbon Trail as we revisit a favorite stop in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky! This episode is packed with our personal journey to getting our 38th stamp and the incredible experiences we had with the people who make Wild Turkey legendary.

Wild Turkey: More Than Just a Stamp 📝

We start with our first stop in May 2023 at the temporary Station Master’s House gift shop, where we originally completed the trail while the new visitor center was under construction. You won’t believe who we ran into that day!

  • The Bo Garrett Connection: Hear the surprising story of meeting music legend-turned-Wild-Turkey-Guide and Brand Builder …  Bo Garrett at the gift shop and how his knowledge of the local history—like the nearby Cedar Brook property—sparked a connection that led to a deeper friendship!
  • A Chat with a Legend: We share the amazing tale of our return visit where we finally got to spend 45 minutes talking with the one and only Jimmy Russell and his wife, Joretta!
  • The Born From the Barrel Tour: Relive the sensory experience of our first tour after the visitor center reopened, including a trip to the historic Rickhouse A and the beautiful grounds, with Bo Garrett as our guide for the special Russell’s Reserve “Born from the Barrel Tour.” We even tasted the rare Russell’s Reserve 15-Year-Old!

A Whiskey Barons Collection Revisit 🥂

But the excitement doesn’t stop there! We crack open two small, historic, and highly-coveted bottles from Campari’s Whiskey Barons Collection we snagged on that very first visit:

  1. Bond & Lillard (100 Proof): Revisit this historic bourbon that won the “Grand Prize” at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair! Find out if we can still detect the flavor notes that made it “bear as no equal,” including the highly unusual lemon zest note we picked up!
  2. WB Saffell (107 Proof): This is a blend of 6, 8, 10, and 12-year-old bourbons. See why this pour felt like “an old friend” and tasted more like a traditional, older-style Wild Turkey, with prominent notes of cinnamon and brown sugar.
