Jimmy Russell’s 70th Anniversary Release is the ultimate tribute to one of Kentucky’s last living whiskey legends. It’s 101-proof Wild Turkey bourbon, aged eight to nine years in several of Jimmy’s favorite rickhouses (likely at Tyrone, a campus he’s long favored). And similar to Parker Beam’s swansong, Jimmy Russell’s 70th Anniversary is a reflection of his personal preference, as well as a testament to his skill and tenure as a master distiller.
