Russell’s Reserve Single Bourbon

The Russell’s Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon embodies the soul of Kentucky craftsmanship. Created by father-and-son master distillers Jimmy and Eddie Russell, this bourbon is hand-selected from the most mature barrels at the Wild Turkey Distillery. Each barrel offers a unique flavor experience — uncut, unfiltered, and bottled at a robust 110 proof.

Every drop showcases the Russell legacy: bold spice, rich caramel, and a depth that only decades of distilling expertise can create. The bourbon is aged in number 4 “alligator” char barrels, giving it that signature deep amber color and smoky sweetness.

From the first pour, you’re greeted with aromas of vanilla, cinnamon, and toasted oak. On the palate, you’ll discover layers of brown sugar, dried fruit, and spice. The finish is long, warm, and perfectly balanced — classic Wild Turkey elegance with a single-barrel twist.

Now available at worldofwhiskeysale.com, this bourbon defines what true Kentucky whiskey should be — full of character, power, and soul.
