Matthew McConaughey Takes a Sip of Success with Wild Turkey and His New Tequila Brand, Wild Turkey Longbranch Matthew McConaughey, the Oscar-winning actor known for his laid-back demeanor and Southern charm, has taken his passion for tequila to the next level by launching his own brand, Wild Turkey Longbranch. The brand is a collaboration between McConaughey and Wild Turkey Distillery, a Kentucky-based producer of bourbon and whiskey. McConaughey's involvement in the tequila industry is not entirely surprising. The actor has been a longtime fan of the spirit and has often been seen sipping it both on and off the red carpet. In fact, he even incorporated tequila into his role as Dallas Buyers Club's Ron Woodroof, who famously used it as a pain reliever. Wild Turkey Longbranch is a reposado tequila that is aged for 18 months in bourbon barrels. This gives the tequila a unique flavor profile that is both smooth and complex, with notes of vanilla, caramel, and oak. The tequila is also bottled at a higher proof than most reposados, at 80 proof, which gives it a more robust flavor. McConaughey has been heavily involved in the development of Wild Turkey Longbranch, from selecting the agave plants to approving the final product. He is also a key part of the brand's marketing campaign, which has been focused on McConaughey's own love of tequila and his laid-back lifestyle. Wild Turkey Longbranch has been well-received by critics and consumers alike. It has been praised for its smooth flavor and unique profile, and it has been named one of the best new tequilas of the year by several publications. McConaughey's foray into the tequila industry is not just about making a good product. It is also about sharing his love of tequila with the world and creating a brand that reflects his own personality and values.
