As an independent writer, the support of others is vital. Thankfully, I’m part of an extraordinary community that sees value in the sharing of opinions. I’m especially lucky to have visitors like you – reading, commenting, and providing essential feedback.
If you enjoy my writing and Turkey fanaticism, please consider the following ways to support my work. Every effort counts and I sincerely thank you for your time.
1. Subscribe
When you subscribe to this blog you’ll receive an email notification each time I publish a new post; more importantly, you’ll put a huge smile on my face.
2. Follow me on Social Media
Did you know I’m on Instagram and Twitter? While I can’t promise my content is always meaningful, there’s plenty of snazzy bottle pics and flippant commentary to be found (yay!).
3. Check out my Books
In 2020, American Spirit: Wild Turkey Bourbon from Ripy to Russell was published. Part history, part appreciation, American Spirit tells the true, spin-free story of Wild Turkey bourbon. From its origins as a grocery wholesaler’s house label, to a worldwide whiskey success, each page sheds light on a brand that’s frequently (and stereotypically) under-appreciated. Bonus points: After you read it, write a review for Amazon, Apple, or Goodreads. Honest reviews help authors more than readers often realize.
Three years later, Wild Turkey Musings: A Whiskey Writer’s Retrospective was released. Musings is a collection of unique works that not only showcases the best of this blog, but offers previously unpublished insight and perspective, as well as new charts, graphs, and maps. From reviews and “best of ” lists to unknown facets and lore of Wild Turkey’s multi-layered history, Wild Turkey Musings is perfect for whiskey fans of any proficiency level.
4. Browse my Online Stores
There’s plenty of unique Turkey-themed shirts, hoodies, mugs, etc. to be found at TurkeyTees101.com. Give it a look! You might just find something you love.
And if you’re looking for signed books, glassware, stickers, etc., please visit my Ko-fi shop. Inventory is updated frequently, so be sure to check in often.
5. Become a Patron
I’m not certain I could maintain this blog without the support of my generous patrons. At least, it wouldn’t be ad free. (And who wants ads? Yuck.) But my Patreon community is so much more than that. There’s exclusive reviews, polls, videos, livestreams, etc. And that’s only the beginning! Depending on one’s pledge tier, there’s rewards like custom cards, glasses, tasting journals, flight boards, etc. Suffice it to say you won’t be disappointed. Hell, give it a try at the base level and if you don’t enjoy your experience I’ll refund your first month no questions asked. That’s a promise.
Finally, if you’d like to support this blog via a small contribution but a subscription-based option doesn’t interest you, consider buying me a coffee via Ko-fi. It takes a lot of caffeine to keep the monthly content flowing. Every drop counts!
Thanks again to everyone in this wonderful whiskey community. Your genuine interest, help, and daily involvement means everything to me. I truly appreciate it. dj
