Russell's Reserve 13 Year Barrel Proof  (750Ml)

Description

Russell's Reserve 13 Year Barrel Proof is a Kentucky straight bourbon from Wild Turkey in Lawrenceburg. It ages at least 13 years in new charred oak. It is bottled at barrel strength and is never chill filtered.

The brand's notes open with vanilla, oak, brown sugar, coffee, and orange peel. Bright cherry and citrus lead the palate. Nutmeg, allspice, and a cola-like sweetness follow. The finish is medium-long, with caramel, toffee, and a touch of oak tannin.

The brand lists Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2023. It adds Gold at The Spirits Business American Whisky Masters in 2022. Fred Minnick named it his top whiskey of 2021.

Proof changes with each release, so check your label. Sip it neat, as the brand suggests. A few drops of water can open it up.
