Russell’s Reserve 15 Year Bourbon Set to Hit Shelves

The wait is finally over! The highly anticipated Russell’s Reserve 15-Year-Old bourbon is set to hit the shelves on July 1. This release is expected to be the “spiritual successor” to Russell’s Reserve 13-Year-Old, and it promises to be “this year’s gold standard” for bourbon enthusiasts.

Crafted by the Legendary master distiller Eddie Russell

The Russell’s Reserve 15-year-Old Bourbon is not just any release; it’s spearheaded by none other than Master distiller Eddie Russell. The non-chill filtered bourbon, priced at $250, is touted as a premium offering from the historic Wild Turkey distillery, chosen to be released in place of the Russell’s Reserve 13-Year Old for this year’s gold.

The Perfect Blend of Complexity and Smoothness

  • Limited availability at selected retailers in the United States and Asia
  • Notes of dried fruit, nutmeg, clove, and earth on the nose
  • Palate boasts spiced cherries, plums, molasses, and tobacco
  • Lingering finish with dark cocoa and smooth oak

Continuing a Legacy with the Russell’s Reserve Single Rickhouse Collection

In addition to the new 15-year-old bourbon, Russell’s Reserve enthusiasts will recall the recent release of the Single Rickhouse Camp Nelson F. This marked the second edition within the brand‘s Single Rickhouse collection, which began in 2022. This collection celebrates specific aging locations on the Wild Turkey campus, adding a distinct sense of place to each offering.

Why Russell’s Reserve 15-Year-Old is a Must-Have

Eddie Russell and his team have poured their passion into Russell’s Reserve, ensuring each bottle meets the highest standards. As Russell said, “It’s been humbling to watch what started as a passion project – a place to celebrate my family’s shared love of bourbon making – turn into something coveted by collectors worldwide.”
