57.4 ABV

Russell's Reserve is named after Jimmy and Eddie Russell, the father and son team of Master Distillers at Wild Turkey, Jimmy since the 1950's and Eddie more recently. This is a rare 13 year barrel proof expression that is the oldest release to date. Caramel and sweet cereal grains dominate on the palate with a spicy and drying finish. It smells like a rickhouse with oaky, dusty, and vanilla aromas.

About Wild Turkey
Wild Turkey may very well be our favorite Bourbon distillery. We think they are often unfairly overlooked as a legacy brand when in fact, they have basically always been at the forefront of innovation in the American Whiskey space. They were the first distillery that we ever heard talk about NOT using GMO grains and in fact they have never used them in their 75 years of making whiskey. Their 101 Rye was a benchmark bottling (along with Rittenhouse and 1 or 2 others) at a time when rye whiskey was very hard to come by. Their Russell's Reserve Bourbon and Rye have long been our go to spirits at the bar to recommend to guests looking for a short but meaningful step up from the well. The make classic American Whiskies while continuing to break new ground.
