Russell's Reserve 13 Year Old Barrel Proof Batch 1
Russell's Reserve 13 Year Old Barrel Proof Batch 1
Description
13 years. Barrel proof. Batch 1. Russell’s Reserve — the founding release of Wild Turkey’s most age-forward annual program, named for Jimmy and Eddie Russell and drawing on the distillery’s oldest available inventory at natural barrel proof.
Russell’s Reserve 13 Year is a different tier from the standard 10-year annual release — three additional years of maturation in Wild Turkey’s barrel-heavy Lawrenceburg warehouses producing deeper oak integration, darker fruit, and greater concentration than the 10-year program. Batch 1 is the program’s founding expression, predating the subsequent batches and establishing the baseline for what the Russell’s Reserve 13 Year program would become.
