Great Gatsby Bourbon Cocktails

F. Scott Fitzgerald was inspired and wrote part of his famous novel at the Seelbach Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky, just miles from the Wild Turkey Distillery. Wild Turkey is the only bourbon distillery that “survived” prohibition, and is still making their famous bourbon the exact same way as they did back when they started in 1855.
