Russell's Reserve 15 Year Bourbon - 2024 Release

Master Distiller Eddie Russell meticulously crafted the Russell’s Reserve 15 Year Old, adding to the rich legacy of Russell’s Reserve. Non-chill filtered and bottled at 117.2 proof, this limited release showcases Eddie’s expertise in developing complex flavors through precise aging and selective barrel choices. 

On the palate, this bourbon starts with a warm rush of tart blood orange opens to rich plum and a classic Wild Turkey cherry note. Then, sweetness gets ramped up thanks to an injection of dark brown sugar and molasses. Just at the end, a mixture of baking spices is introduced creating additional layers of complexity. Rich and flavorful,  its pitch-perfect intensity creates a palate that is a true standout!

This bourbon is considered by most to be one of the best releases over the last several years, regardless of price.
