Russell's Reserve 13 Year Old Barrel Proof
Russell's Reserve
This is Wild Turkey's patient side — a bourbon that earned its depth by sitting in Kentucky heat for over a decade. The 13-year age statement shows restraint and reward in equal measure, delivering complexity that barrel proof amplifies rather than obscures.
Rare Breed Rye
Wild Turkey
Wild Turkey's Rare Breed Rye is a barrel-proof statement that channels the distillery's signature robust style into a rye framework. It has the kind of rough-hewn character that rewards a patient pour — add a few drops of water and the cherry and caramel notes bloom. An excellent value for its proof and complexity.
Kentucky Spirit Single Barrel Bourbon
Wild Turkey
Kentucky Spirit is Wild Turkey's single barrel program at its most confident. Each barrel is hand-selected by the master distiller, and the high-rye mashbill gives it backbone that the long aging in deeply charred barrels rounds into something substantial. This is a workhorse bourbon that punches well above its price.
Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon
Russell's Reserve
This is mature, no-nonsense bourbon that rewards patience both in the glass and in the warehouse. Eddie and Jimmy Russell's hands-off philosophy shines here — the barrel did the talking. At 110 proof it stands up to ice or a splash of water without losing character.

Stellum Lyra Single Barrel Cask Strength Bourbon Whiskey
Stellum
Stellum's single barrel program lets the cask do the talking, and this bottling delivers a bourbon where every sip reflects the depth of its barrel interaction. The high proof carries tremendous flavor density without bitterness. A serious sipper that rewards patience.
