This year, Russell’s Reserve is bringing back one of the brand's most popular limited releases—13 Year Old bourbon. This and subsequent future releases of 13 Year Old will feature each batch’s unique proof and production season on the label, offering fans a distinctive and collectible bottling every new 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 master distiller 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.

“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. “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.”

Tasting notes provided by Russell's Reserve say this 13 Year Old Bourbon has notes of caramel and cherry on the nose, followed by cola, molasses, and butter cream on the palate. The experience then ends with a long-lasting finish of mature oak and a hint of black pepper.

Russell’s Reserve 13 Year Old Bourbon (SRP $200) is bottled at 123.8 proof and will be available in limited quantities online, at the distillery visitor’s center, and at select retailers.
