13 Year Old Bourbon
The Russell’s Reserve 13 Year Old Spring 2025 release is a manifestation of Kentucky excellence. Painstakingly crafted by Master Distiller Eddie Russell, this very special, exquisitely aged bourbon is the culmination of 13 years of perfected maturation. A 2.0 reimagining of the original Russell’s Reserve 13 – named 2021’s whiskey of the year – subsequent batches of this limited release will offer a distinct expression of the barrel, each batched at a unique variable barrel proof point.
