About this episode
On this very special edition of Cocktail College, we’re shaking things up and departing from a specific drink or technique to turn our focus to an ingredient. And it’s not just any ingredient — it’s one of the foundational spirits of American drinks culture as well as the cannon of classic cocktails. That’s right, we’re embarking on a bourbon deep-dive with some of the biggest names in the business: the brand is Wild Turkey and our guest is third-generation Associate Master Blender, Bruce Russell. On 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. Listen on to learn more — and don't forget to like, subscribe, and leave a review!
