In this episode of Bourbon Lens, we raise a glass to Wild Turkey Master Distiller Eddie Russell to celebrate his incredible 45th anniversary milestone at the distillery. We break down the highly anticipated spring release of Russell’s Reserve 13-Year-Old Bourbon, featuring a special commemorative label honoring Eddie’s craftsmanship. Bottled uncut at a unique 121-proof barrel proof, this rare and highly allocated expression brings a rich blend of history and flavor. Discover the inside story of how a rare 18-year-old barrel hand-pulled by Eddie during the filming of his new documentary, \"His Own Way,\" made its way into this legendary 13-year blend. We also explore the pour's complex tasting notes, from initial aromas of citrus, baking spice, and cola, down to a heavy palate layered with rich fruit, sweet cola, rich tobacco, and smooth leather finishes. Plus, we share details on upcoming premiere events and exclusive screenings held at the Wild Turkey Visitor Center.
