They sat in new, charred American oak for 15 years. Bottled in 2018 at 114.6 proof, this is available in limited quantities beginning end of June 2018.

Tasting Notes
"Russell's Reserve 2002 is a roller coaster of a bourbon, starting out sweet and long before the zip of its 114+ proof hits the palate. It's a spicy whiskey with notes of leather, maple, and honeysuckle; the lighter qualities come out with the addition of a little water. It's big, delightful, stunner of a bourbon."
