Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a 13-year-old Kentucky bourbon from Wild Turkey Distillery, bottled at barrel proof and non-chill-filtered. The Spring 2025 edition is a limited release under the Russell's Reserve label. It suits the enthusiast who already knows bourbon well and wants to see how far age and undiluted strength can take it. It also fits a collector's shelf as a dated seasonal edition. On the nose, expect vanilla bean frosting, brown sugar, fresh caramel and dark cherry, with clove, nutmeg and a dusty rickhouse note underneath. The palate is silky and full-bodied, layering dark chocolate, molasses-glazed plum and cherry, cola and orange-infused cream over a firm oak frame. A long, warming finish follows, with charred oak, leather, peppery spice and toasted vanilla. We carry it because it shows mature oak without losing the fruit and sweetness of its corn-dominant mash bill. It also rewards slow, attentive sipping, with a few drops of water at a time if you want them.
Pairs well with
- Dark chocolate truffles — The bourbon's dark chocolate and cherry notes echo the cocoa, while its brown sugar sweetness keeps bitterness in check.
- Bourbon tasting flight centerpiece — Its layered nose and long finish of charred oak and leather make it a standout anchor alongside younger pours.
- Molasses-glazed smoked pork — The molasses-glazed fruit and charred oak on the palate meet the glaze and smoke head-on.

How should I drink it?
Sip it neat from a Glencairn or tulip glass at room temperature to get the full intensity of the 13 years and the barrel proof. If the strength feels tight, add a few drops of spring water to bring out more of the fruit and spice.
