Russell's Reserve 1998 750ml

Discover the Essence of Russell's Reserve

The story of Russell’s Reserve 1998, the rarest offering ever from Russell’s Reserve, has been in the making longer than the brand itself. As the son of the longest-tenured, active Master Distiller in Kentucky, Eddie Russell, a Master Distiller himself, always knew his father would celebrate many milestones at Wild Turkey. Although not much gets by Jimmy, Eddie often has a masterful and secretive hand in ensuring the “Buddha of Bourbon” celebrates each milestone accordingly.

With only 23 barrels of Bourbon bottled – the smallest batch ever under Jimmy and Eddie’s watch, Russell’s Reserve 1998 may become one of the most coveted releases ever bestowed upon the Bourbon community. Only 2,070 bottles will be available nationwide.
