On this special edition of the “Cocktail College” podcast, we’re shaking things up and departing from a specific drink or technique to turn our focus to a singular ingredient. And it’s not just any ingredient — it’s one of the foundational spirits of American drinking culture as well as the cannon of classic cocktails. That’s right, we’re embarking on a bourbon deep-dive with one of the biggest names in the business: The brand is Wild Turkey and our guest is third-generation associate master blender, Bruce Russell.
During a recent trip to Kentucky, we got to sit down with Bruce to talk about bourbon, brand building, family legacy, and how all of that distills down into better mixed drinks at the bar or in your home. We also got a very special first taste of a brand-new expression in the brand’s line. So without further ado, it’s Wild Turkey — not “Mild Turkey.” It’s the “Return of the Mack,” and a spirited exploration of all things bourbon. And it’s all right here on the “Cocktail College” podcast. Tune in for more.
