A Modern Legend from Kentucky Royalty

Created to honor over a century of combined distilling mastery by the father-and-son duo Jimmy and Eddie Russell, Russell’s Reserve 13-Year-Old instantly staked its claim as one of the most sought-after and critically acclaimed bourbons of the 21st century. Winning sweeping praise across international competitions and enthusiast circles alike, this limited-allocation release represents the absolute pinnacle of Wild Turkey’s warehouse stocks, capturing deep maturity without losing its signature house character.

Thirteen Years of Patient Maturation at Barrel Proof

Marrying barrels aged for a minimum of 13 years—with select batches integrating even older stocks for maximum complexity—this expression is bottled straight from the cask without chill filtration. At 57.4% ABV (114.8 proof), it balances raw, punchy strength with a sophisticated, velvety elegance that only over a decade of patient oak interaction in Kentucky can provide.

An Exquisite, Complex Tasting Profile

Russell’s Reserve 13 delivers a powerful, deeply layered, and rewarding sensory journey:

• Color: Deep, glowing mahogany with rich bronze highlights.

• Nose: An intensely rich and inviting bouquet of heavy caramel, dark brown sugar, and sweet vanilla, beautifully interwoven with waves of aged oak, sweet pipe tobacco, baked cherries, and roasted nuts.

• Palate: Immeasurably rich, full-bodied, and oily. The heavy mouthfeel coats the palate with decadent layers of dark chocolate, butterscotch, and sweet confectionery notes, balanced dynamically by a robust wave of pepper spice, leather, and deep, sweet oak.

• Finish: Exceptionally long, warm, and memorable. The dark fruit and sweet oak notes slowly fade into a drying, luxurious finish tinged with lingering baking spices and cocoa.

The Ultimate Centerpiece for Any Serious Collection

Featuring its signature amber labeling detailing batch specs and non-chill filtered proof, Russell’s Reserve 13-Year-Old is a prized crown jewel for any modern whiskey library. Whether acquired as a monumental gift for a milestone celebration or opened to experience the zenith of Wild Turkey craftsmanship, it delivers an unforgettable tasting experience.
