Bourbon Releases News For June 27, 2025

Russell’s Reserve Announces the Highly Anticipated Return of Its 13-Year-Old Limited Release Bourbon

Russell’s Reserve 13 Year Old Bourbon returns in 2025 as a limited release, now bottled at a new higher barrel proof of 123.8. Introduced in 2021, this non-chill filtered small batch bourbon is selected by Master Distiller Eddie Russell and will now include batch-specific proof and production season details on the label. The 2025 release was bottled in spring and will be available this summer on a limited basis at a suggested retail price of $200. Learn more in the full press release.

Dierks Bentley Introduces ROW 94 Broken Branches Bourbon

Dierks Bentley has announced the limited release of ROW 94 Broken Branches Bourbon in collaboration with Lofted Custom Spirits and Green River Distilling Co. Aged five years and bottled at 100 proof, this Kentucky Straight Bourbon undergoes a unique “Branch Aging” process using fire-toasted oak staves that were seasoned for 24 months. Only 1,500 bottles are being released to coincide with Bentley’s Broken Branches album and tour. Bottles are priced at $99.99 and will be available via lottery registration at row94whiskey.com. Learn more in the full press release. (I’m a little confused by the pricing on this one. Dierks’ first release, ROW 94 Bourbon, was 4 years old, 92 proof and initially priced at a reasonable ~$40 for a 750ml, although now it is selling for $54 on his website. Even so, this new 100 proof 5 year release is almost double the price, which seems pretty high for today’s market.)

Bourbon Releases News For June 27, 2025

Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Rye Announced for 2025

Heaven Hill Distillery has announced the Second Edition of its Grain to Glass Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey, a limited-edition release made entirely in-house from locally grown grain. It features a mashbill of 63% rye, 24% corn, and 13% malt, a higher rye content than Heaven Hill’s traditional rye whiskey. The Beck’s Hybrids 6225 corn varietal used in this edition was grown by Peterson Farms on one of two sites in Nelson County, Kentucky. The whiskey was barreled at 107 proof, aged for over six years at the Cox’s Creek rickhouse site, and bottled non-chill filtered at 105.2 proof (52.6% ABV). It will be available nationwide in 700ml bottles at a suggested retail price of $99.99. Learn more in the full press release. (I’m looking forward to this one – the rye was my favorite of last year’s Grain to Glass series)

Little Book Chapter 9 “None for Granted” Announced

Little Book Chapter 9 “None for Granted” is the latest installment in Freddie Noe’s annual limited-edition series. This 2025 release blends five Kentucky whiskeys—three traditional bourbons aged 7–11 years, an 8-year-old rye, and an 8-year-old brown rice bourbon previously featured in Little Book Chapter 4. One of the 7-year bourbons was finished in toasted barrels, while another was fermented longer and distilled to a lower proof to enhance fruit notes. Bottled at 121.8 proof, “None for Granted” is priced at $159.99 and showcases the founding flavors of American whiskey: brown sweets, vanilla, creamy caramel, and big oak. Learn more in the full press release.

Shenk’s (91.2 proof, $110) includes some whiskey finished in toasted Vosges forest French oak barrels. Bomberger’s (108 proof, $120) is matured entirely in Chinquapin oak barrels, with the wood seasoned outdoors for 18 months to 5 years to enhance complexity. These limited, vintage-dated whiskeys honor the heritage of the original Shenk’s distillery (founded in 1753) and its evolution into Bomberger’s and eventually Michter’s.

Two Stacks Releases Single Grain Double Barrel Irish Whiskey

(Well, this one is not a bourbon, but it has a high corn mash bill and was aged in used bourbon barrels, so it’s not too distant a cousin—or technically, it could even be considered a corn whiskey in the U.S.) Two Stacks has released its first Irish Grain Whiskey: Single Grain Double Barrel, now available nationwide in both a 700 ml bottle ($44.99) and the innovative 100 ml Dram in a Can ($6.99). This 86-proof whiskey is aged for 3–5 years in ex-bourbon barrels followed by 1–3 years in Oloroso sherry casks. It blends 94% maize with 6% Irish malted barley, offering a light yet layered flavor profile. The release highlights the potential of single grain Irish whiskey, a style often used in blends, and has already received multiple awards. Learn more at https://twostackswhiskey.com/.
