Russell's Reserve Ages Up Again

Russell’s Reserve is bringing back 13 Year Old Bourbon, now at a new barrel proof point.The new expression, at a new and unique barrel proof (123.8), reflects the best of the distillery’s storied rickhouses. This and subsequent future releases of 13 Year Old will feature each batch’s unique proof and production season on the label.“This release of Russell’s Reserve 13 Year Old is special to me not only because it celebrates our legacy, but because it represents a new chapter in the evolution of this bourbon,” said Eddie Russell, Master Distiller at Wild Turkey Distilling Co. “Each release is a labor of love and a reflection of the time and care we put into crafting every bottle. This one carries the signature profile the 13 is known for, but with enhanced cola notes that bring a new depth of flavor. I’m excited to share this new iteration with our fans because I think they’re going to love drinking it as much as I enjoyed making it.”Building on the brand’s momentum following the acclaimed 2024 debut of Russell’s Reserve 15 Year Old, this bourbon is a manifestation of time and place – matured within the distillery’s rickhouses, selected and blended to offer a full-bodied experience.First introduced in June 2021 and historically batched at a barrel proof of 114.8, each release of the 13 Year Old is non-chill filtered and crafted from a small batch of barrels thoughtfully selected by Eddie Russell and his team. The latest release, bottled in Spring 2025, will become available later this summer for a limited time while supplies last.
