Russell's Reserve 13 Year "Eddie's 45th Anniversary" (2026)

“Russell’s Reserve has always been deeply personal to me. It started as a way to honor my dad and everything he taught me,” says Master Distiller Eddie Russell. “Now, the opportunity to celebrate my own 45 years with a new release of the 13 Year Old – a bourbon that really showcases how I approach the craft – and to see my story shared through this film, is incredibly special.”

The Spring 2026 release of Russell’s Reserve 13 Year Old Bourbon will feature a commemorative label, offering a nod to Eddie’s 45 years of whiskey-making mastery. Continuing the tradition of honoring the truest expression of the barrel, an approach central to Eddie’s philosophy of bourbon-making, this year’s batch showcases his unique ability to hand-select and develop deep, complex flavors through maturation. Bottled at a unique barrel proof of 60.6% (121.2 proof) and shaped by the nuances of this production season, this release delivers a rich, full-bodied profile, including special selections by Eddie, crafted to be savored, shared, and celebrated.
