Russell’s Reserve was born in 2000 out of a close relationship between father and son, Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame Master Distillers Jimmy & Eddie Russell. There is an indelible bond forged in Bourbon, with more than 101 years of combined Whiskey mastery between them. Family is in Russell’s Reserve’s DNA. It’s crafted by a family, it’s named after a family, and is meant to bring more outsider Bourbon aficionados to the family.
The new Russell’s Reserve 13 Year Old is a tribute to the distillery’s heritage and the legacy pioneered by Eddie’s father, Jimmy Russell. It showcases Eddie’s talents and expertise to develop flavors through careful aging and a nose for identifying the highest quality barrels.
It is a thoughtfully crafted expression, aged for a minimum of 13 years, reaching a barrel proof of 114.8 and promising a distinctive, rich, warm flavor best enjoyed right out of the bottle.
"Crafting Russell’s Reserve 13-year-old turned out to be one of my most rewarding experiences as a distiller. This release embodies our commitment to creating uniquely satisfying flavors, and, hands down, it’s one of our most rare Bourbons." — Eddie Russell.

The Flavor Spiral™ shows the most common flavors that you'll taste in Russell's Reserve 13 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey and gives you a chance to have a taste of it before actually tasting it.
We invented Flavor Spiral™ here at Flaviar to get all your senses involved in tasting drinks and, frankly, because we think that classic tasting notes are boring.
Speaking of breeding winner horses, two of Pinhook’s co-founders have horseracing in their DNA. Jamie Hill and Mike McMahon continue the tradition of their families as third-generation horsemen, owning a bloodstock agency and a thoroughbred racing company. Applying that knowledge to Whiskey just made sense.
Pinhooking means purchasing and rearing a foal based on its pedigree and either selling it or turning it into a champ racing horse. The same idea is behind Pinhook Bourbon: they source young Whiskey to mature and blend it into a blue-ribbon sipping Bourbon.
J.B.'s father, Joseph W. Dant, invented a still made from a poplar log at 16, as he couldn't afford a copper still. Although crude, it worked exceptionally well!
