Russell’s Reserve 13 Year Old Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750ml)

Crafted as a tribute to Eddie Russell’s 45 years of whiskey-making mastery, Russell’s Reserve 13 Year Old Barrel Proof Bourbon stands as one of the most revered and uncompromising expressions in the Wild Turkey portfolio. Bottled at full barrel strength and non-chill filtered, this exceptional bourbon represents the pinnacle of mature, well-aged Kentucky bourbon.

Aged a minimum of 13 years, with select barrels reaching even greater maturity, this release showcases Eddie Russell’s unparalleled ability to coax depth, balance, and complexity through extended barrel aging. Each hand-selected barrel reflects decades of experience, resulting in a bourbon that is bold, layered, and profoundly expressive of the barrel itself.

On the nose, expect deep aromas of seasoned oak, dark caramel, and rich vanilla. The palate delivers an intense yet beautifully structured experience—concentrated notes of toffee, baking spice, charred oak, and dark fruit unfold with remarkable richness. The finish is long, powerful, and contemplative, carrying warmth, oak, and lingering sweetness that invites slow savoring.

Bottled in Spring 2026, this release is created to be savored, shared, and celebrated—an essential bottle for serious bourbon collectors and barrel-proof enthusiasts alike.
