21 Oct 2015 --- Lawrenceburg, Ky – The story of Russell’s Reserve 1998, the rarest offering ever from Russell’s Reserve, has been in the making longer than the brand itself. As the son of the longest-tenured, active Master Distiller in Kentucky, Eddie Russell, a Master Distiller himself, always knew his father would celebrate many milestones at Wild Turkey. Although not much gets by Jimmy, Eddie often has a masterful and secretive hand in ensuring the “Buddha of Bourbon” celebrates each milestone accordingly.
