Evidence map
Russell’s 13 – ‘Eddie’s 45 th’ — located evidence. Locations: Anniversary and sample disclosure; Spring 2026 specifications and tasting notes; Batch 5 comparison and conclusion; Six comments through June 26, 2026. Reference:

Researcher synthesis
Useful for edition-level whiskey identity and source-limited tasting vocabulary. Reported older components do not replace the legal label age, and small sample/openness limit strength of preference claims.
Assessment
Sample-bottle image reviewed; small or obscured label details are not invented. Reportedly 14–18 years is not independently verified; actual blend ratios absent. No blind repeats or analytical confirmation. Retirement discussion is speculation, not announcement.
Preserve batch/date/proof together; avoid converting the comment's unresolved PP 301050940 into a bottle-date rule.
Embedded-media assessment
One photograph reviewed of an anniversary sample bottle and tasting glass in a presentation box. The visible 13-year and 45th-anniversary markings support the depicted sample identity; the image does not disclose 14–18-year component proportions, prove the reported proof value, or establish repeatable preference. All six archived comments reviewed; the unresolved bottle code remains unresolved.
