Russell’s Reserve has unveiled the third annual release of its heralded Russell’s Reserve 13-Year-Old Bourbon. Like the previous two, the whiskey was crafted under the leadership of Master Distiller Eddie Russell, who will celebrate his 42nd anniversary at the distillery this summer.
First introduced the 114.8-proof 13-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon in June 2021, the bourbon was re-introduced as a limited, annual offering in June of 2022. “Releasing Russell’s Reserve 13-Year-Old Bourbon is a moment I’ve come to look forward to each year,” said Eddie Russell. “This bourbon is a personal favorite of mine and I am proud to bring it back this year in time for Father’s Day. I know I’ll be raising a glass with my father and son, Bruce, to celebrate, and hope fans and folks trying it for the first time can enjoy a glass with their families and friends this summer season as well.”
The barrel-proof bourbon coats the palate with sweet and warming flavors rising from the harmonious marriage of dried dark fruit and charred confectionary notes. Those sweet and woody notes give way to rich flavors of honey, chocolate, and nougat throughout, followed by a strong and lasting finish.
Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks, Russell’s Reserve 13-Year-Old will be available nationally from retailers, as well as at ReserveBar, for $150 per 750 ml bottle for a limited time. For more information, head over to the brand’s official website.
