SPRINGDALE, ARK. — Tyson Foods’ Wright Brand created a new product innovation, inspired by Kentucky bourbon. The Sweet & Smoky Kentucky Bourbon Bacon officially launched on Aug. 1.

Wright Brand’s hand-selected, hand-trimmed, thick-cut, real-wood-smoked bacon has been serving customers for more than 100 years. This new addition under the brand name embodies Kentucky bourbon with a rich, bold flavor that fits any time of day.

The new product was made in honor of Tyson Foods’ new $355 million food production facility that opened in Bowling Green, Ky., in January to support significant expansion of its bacon production capabilities.

The Sweet & Smoky Kentucky Bourbon Bacon is available for a limited time at retail stores like Kroger, Save A Lot, Piggly Wiggly, Giant Eagle, Hy-Vee and K-VA-T Food Stores, and through wholesale distribution with Mitchell and Associated Wholesale Grocers as well as Amazon online distribution.
