Russell's Reserve 13 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon is the latest expression in the Russell's Reserve line. This limited-edition whiskey is bottled without chill filtration and at barrel proof, at 57.4% ABV. This bold yet smooth bourbon pays tribute to the distillery's heritage and the legacy pioneered by Jimmy, while showcasing Eddie's innovative talents and expert ability to develop supreme flavors through careful aging and a keen sense for identifying only the highest quality barrels.

The batch is made up of four production dates that were aged in five different warehouses. The breakdown of barrel storage for Booker's “Ronnie's Batch” is as follows: 4% came from the 3rd floor of 7-story warehouse 5, 7% came from the 4th floor of 9-story warehouse D, 15% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse 1, 26% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse Q, 48% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse Z. This batch has a nice color and a rich vanilla aroma with hints of brown spice that you can enjoy even before your first sip. The whiskey has a sweet taste that comes from the time spent aging in our unique Kentucky climate. It was a brisk, cold day when I selected this batch, but the warm and pleasant finish make it an ideal pour as we leave behind these cooler months. I know my father would be so proud to name this batch after Ronnie, as he was sure to make Booker's just like Dad wanted.
