The Russell’s Reserve 1998 Bourbon 2015 Release is one of the rarest Wild Turkey expressions ever bottled, selected personally by Jimmy and Eddie Russell and released only once. A highly sought-after collector bourbon, now extremely scarce on the secondary market.
Originally released in 2015, the Russell’s Reserve 1998 Bourbon marks a historic milestone for Wild Turkey and the Russell family legacy. Distilled in 1998 and aged over 15 years, this one-time-only release represents a unique snapshot of Wild Turkey’s older distillate style.
Each bottle was personally selected by Master Distiller Jimmy Russell and his son Eddie Russell, and no subsequent editions were ever released. Bottled at 51.1% ABV, this expression carries the deep complexity, oak-driven spice, and rich caramel structure that defines older Wild Turkey whiskey.
This release is among the most auctioned Wild Turkey bottles, regularly featured by high-end platforms like:
Whisky Auctioneer Premium Releases
Sotheby’s Rare American Whiskey Selection
Russell’s Reserve 1998 continues to rise in value, with private collectors now actively seeking sealed examples with full packaging.
