Russell’s Reserve is bringing back fan-favorite Russell’s Reserve 13 Year Old Bourbon, one of its most revered limited releases, now at a new barrel proof point for 2025.
Russell’s Reserve brings back 13 Year Old in 2025 with a new and unique barrel proof reflecting the distillery’s storied rickhouses. This and subsequent future releases of 13 Year Old will feature each batch’s unique proof and production season on the label, according to the distillery, offering fans a distinctive and collectible bottling at every release.
First introduced in June 2021 and historically batched at a barrel proof of 114.8, each release of the 13 Year Old is non-chill filtered and crafted from a small batch of barrels selected by Eddie Russell and his team. The latest release, bottled in Spring 2025, will become available later this summer for a limited time while supplies last, according to the distillery.
“This release of Russell’s Reserve 13 Year Old is special to me not only because it celebrates our legacy, but because it represents a new chapter in the evolution of this bourbon,” said Eddie Russell, master distiller at Wild Turkey Distilling Co., in a news release. “Each release is a labor of love and a reflection of the time and care we put into crafting every bottle. This one carries the signature profile the 13 is known for, but with enhanced cola notes that bring a new depth of flavor. I’m excited to share this new iteration with our fans because I think they’re going to love drinking it as much as I enjoyed making it.”
The highly allocated Russell’s Reserve 13 Year Old will be available in limited quantities online, at the distillery Visitor’s Center and at select retailers for $200 SRP per 750-ml. bottle.
