10 Highest Quality Whiskey Brands in the US

4. Russell’s Reserve

Insider Monkey Score: 12

Master distillers and premier whiskey makers Jimmy and Eddie Russell have brought nearly 100 years of combined experience to artfully craft the Russell’s Reserve premium Bourbon whiskey. In 1998, to celebrate Jimmy’s 45 years of service at the Wild Turkey Distillery in Lawrenceburg, KY, Eddie crafted a special small-batch Bourbon that he called Russell’s Reserve.

In 2009, Wild Turkey – and thus Russell’s Reserve – was acquired by the Campari Group, one of the largest companies in global spirits. Since the acquisition, Campari has invested over $300 million into expanding Wild Turkey and Russell’s Reserve’s production capacity.
