Wild Turkey Distillery said it is introducing 3,600 bottle of “a new whiskey for anyone who seeks an elevated bourbon experience: Russell’s Reserve 2003.” Priced at $250 a bottle, hand-selected by Master Distiller Eddie Russell, the 2003 edition is a special release never to be repeated – making it a sought-after offering for avid collectors.
Aged to perfection for a minimum of 16 years inside the distillery’s Tyrone warehouses, this unique palate pleaser marks the very last of Russell’s Reserve 107-barrel-entry-proof whiskey. Reminiscent of Wild Turkey releases from the mid-1980s to early 1990s, Eddie had a “Eureka!” moment after tasting these one-of-a-kind barrels bursting with sweet baking spices, juicy stone fruits, and butterscotch flavors.
Russell’s Reserve 2003 marks the latest in a line of innovative whiskies created by Eddie, a 39-year industry veteran who has mastered the craft of small-batch bourbon. A feat that speaks volumes to his skills as Master Distiller, Eddie has been crafting awarding-winning and ultra-rare whiskies – releasing some of the oldest bourbons to come out of Wild Turkey.
