Russell's Reserve 13 Year Old Barrel Proof Bourbon – Eddie Russell's 45th Anniversary (2026) – 121.2 Proof Wild Turkey's Spring 2026 release of Russell's Reserve 13 Year Old marks 45 years since Master Distiller Eddie Russell started at the distillery with a summer job in 1981. It ties back to how the brand began, since Eddie first created Russell's Reserve to mark his father Jimmy Russell's own 45th anniversary. Eddie picked the barrels himself, and the batch includes an 18-year-old barrel he and his son, Associate Master Blender Bruce Russell, tasted while filming the documentary 'His Own Way: The Story of Eddie Russell.' It is bottled at barrel proof without chill filtering and has a commemorative 45th anniversary label. Tasting Notes • Nose: Vanilla and oak, moving into brown sugar and coffee with a hint of orange peel. • Palate: Bright cherry and citrus, followed by nutmeg, allspice and cola-like sweetness. • Finish: Medium-long, with caramel, toffee and a light grip of oak tannin. Product Details • Distillery: Wild Turkey Distillery, Lawrenceburg, Kentucky • Style: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, barrel proof, non-chill filtered • Age: 13 years minimum (includes older hand-selected barrels, including an 18-year-old barrel) • Proof / ABV: 121.2 proof (60.6% ABV) • Size: 750ml • Availability: Limited, highly allocated Spring 2026 release (SRP $200) Why It Stands Out It is the highest-proof 13 Year release so far, and Eddie picked the barrels himself to mark his own milestone. The commemorative label and the documentary released alongside it make it a strong bottle for Wild Turkey collectors. Serving Suggestions Pour it neat and let it rest a few minutes. At over 120 proof, a splash of water will open up the cherry and spice notes. Stop by Bansum Wine & Liquor in Patchogue or order online for shipping.
