No matter how they identify, the dads in your life deserve something good for Father’s Day this year.

Russell’s Reserve 6 Year Old Rye

(In partnership with Russell’s Reserve)

There are over 100 combined years of whiskey-making experience in every bottle of Russell’s Reserve. So it’s no surprise that Master Distillers Jimmy and Eddie Russell — both Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame members — have created something a little more mature with Russell’s Reserve 6 Year Old Rye. This small batch is older than many other rye whiskies, crafted from barrels hand-selected by the Russells from the center cut of the rickhouse (those floors offer the most consistent aging cycle). Bottled at 90 proof, this rye is complex, spicy and lively, featuring notes of citrus zest, caramel and black pepper.
