“While it wasn’t an easy decision to release something other than Russell’s Reserve 13, the added complexity from extended aging was too exciting to pass up,” said Eddie Russell.
“It’s been humbling to watch what started as a passion project – a place to celebrate my family’s shared love of bourbon making – turn into something that’s coveted by collectors the world over. We stay committed to bottling only the best, and only when it’s ready. This year, that’s brought to life in these bottles of Russell’s Reserve 15-Year-Old.”
As of July 1, Russell’s Reserve’s 15-Year-Old 2024 Limited Release will be available at select retailers throughout the US and Asia (750 ML bottle). To learn about online availability, fans can sign up for Russell’s Reserve’s community newsletter.
