147 - Longbranch, Anti Spirit Awards, and Lack of Press Release News on the Bourbon Community Roundtable #20

Will Longbranch slowly phase out Wild Turkey 81? Did you know that 92% of the entrants in the 2017 San Francisco World Spirit Awards won a medal? Did Buffalo Trace start aiming too high? We examine all of these topics much more in depth in this edition of the Bourbon Community Roundtable. Show Notes: Who's excited for the Matthew McConaughey bourbon? Was Longbranch a smart move for Wild Turkey because the Wild Turkey brand name is getting stale? Could this be the slow decline and phasing out of Wild Turkey 81? Does Wild Turkey lose something in your mind for letting Matthew put his name next to Eddie’s on the bottle? Henry McKenna wins the 2018 San Francisco World Spirit Awards as best bourbon. Was anyone surprised this wins out of 300+? Let's talk about anti-spirit award show topics. (refer back to episode 144) Do you feel it's a honey barrel and nothing that just magically showed up? A Buffalo Trace rep said no one is talking about the Four Grain or the OFC press release. Should we? Is this unimpressive news? Booker's 30th is 16 year we are all eager to try.
