Russell's Reserve Rye

Unread postby cowdery » Mon Aug 27, 2007 6:53 pm

Wild Turkey is about to release a new straight rye, under the Russell's Reserve banner. It will be a six-year-old straight rye whiskey. Retail price will be about $24. I don't know the proof yet, but I'm guessing 90. I'll know more for sure in a couple of days. It's being bottled now.

It is being slated for late September release. Whether or not it will be around during the festival I don't know, but I suspect the Turkey folks will have some, even if it's not in the stores yet.

This will be positioned slightly above the Wild Turkey rye and is a new expression, not a replacement for WT rye. Presumably, WT rye is 4+ years old and RR Rye will be 6+ years old.

I think this is a great development and I'm looking forward to it.

Great news Chuck, thanks for sharing. It will be nice to try a 4+ and 6+ rye side by side from WT. And I have to say i am lad to see the price is being kept within reason. I mean yeah, it is only 6+ years old, but not seeing a price gouge on something which I feel will appeal more to those who are 'into' whiskey like we are is a pleasa suprise.
