Wild Turkey Associate Distiller Eddie Russell, BourbonBlog Host Tom Fischer, and Wild Turkey Master Distiller Jimmy Russell "Give 'Em the Bird"
Legendary whiskey aficionado Benjamin Franklin (among his other distinguished titles) once said, “The only things certain in life are death and taxes.”
Shouldn’t bourbon be another one of life’s certainties?
Wild Turkey Bourbon thinks so and tells BourbonBlog.com in honor of their tagline, “Give ‘Em the Bird,” they want us all to sit back and enjoy what Uncle Sam simply can’t touch – the smooth taste of bourbon in your belly. Here are a few bourbon cocktails to celebrate the end of Tax Day 2012!
