Released in 2024 in place of a 13 Year, Russell's Reserve 15 Year Old is a Kentucky straight bourbon that spent 15 years in the barrel and was bottled at 117.2 proof (58.6% ABV), non-chill filtered. Select retailers in the US and Asia began selling it on July 1, 2024.

Nº 01

The Elemental Distinction

01

Fifteen years. The barrels spent 15 years through Kentucky's hot summers and cold winters, in rickhouses at Camp Nelson.

02

117.2 proof. Eddie Russell set the strength at 117.2, the point where he judged the whiskey's character showed best, and skipped chill filtration.

03

Chosen over the 13. Releasing something other than the 13 Year was a hard call, Eddie Russell has said, and the extra years in the barrel won it.

04

A small batch. Russell's Reserve calls it a 15-year small batch, built from barrels it selected.

Nº 02

After the 13, a 15

The 2024 release

June 13, 2024 brought the 15 Year Old's announcement, framed by Russell's Reserve as a follow-on to the 13 Year Old that takes extended aging further; it took the place of a 13 Year that year. The 13 Year line had run through three releases of the original 13 Year, bottled at 114.8 proof, from 2021 to 2023, and returned in 2025 with the 13 Year's Spring 2025 batch at 123.8 proof.

Sensory Profile & Strategy

Distiller notes & position
I

Sensory Profile

Dried fruit, caramel, nutmeg, clove and oak make up the nose in Russell's Reserve's description of the 15 Year Old, with Wild Turkey's earthy signature behind them; cherry and plum lead into molasses, coffee, tobacco and mature oak on the palate, and the long finish carries dark cocoa, caramel and oak.

II

Strategic Position

Russell's Reserve called the 15 Year Old a departure from its expected release schedule. It spent two more years in the barrel than the 13 Year Old and was bottled at 117.2 proof, against the 114.8 of the 2021 to 2023 13 Year releases.
